93 Ranger STX *thrust bearing crisis*

[Ruck45live]

I cant find any 27 spline thrust washers for my front axle. I'm missing one and can't anything at all. Is there any other way to lock my axle in place? Does it matter if I don't use 4x4? Please help

So I moved your post to the axle forum...

The title says thrust bearing... the post says thrust washer.

Maybe you can be a little more descriptive on exactly what you're looking for.

Sounds like he's looking for that splined washer that goes on the shaft. Then the outer c-clip retains it so the axle doesn't slide towards the diff.

That's exactly it. I was hoping there would be another way. I haven't had much luck finding another 27 spline ranger. Sorry about the typo

Any 4x4 90-97 Ranger or 91-94 Explorer will have the part you need. I'm sure they are available new but are easy to find at the junkyard too. These are almost a wear item, I find them missing or severely damaged quite often.
