94 Ranger 2wd Front Suspension Help


I agree with Gump on being bound up.

Pivot points like that are best tightened in the loaded position. You want weight on the suspension so it is compressed to normal position. This is what I'd do in your situation:
1) Loosen nuts on radius arms and axle pivot bushings. Jack if necessary. You don't need to do the long bolts under the springs, ball joints, or TREs. You only need to loosen enough to get a little slack, not necessary to take all the way off. I would probably back them off a few extra turns, then run down until they just touch.

2) Weight back on wheels, and roll it forward and back several feet to settle suspension. I'd try to end with rolling forward so that it is pushing the the radius arms into the mounts.

3) Retighten nuts with weight on wheels.

4) Move it around a bit more to see if toe improves. Since you couldn't count turns on TREs, you may need to adjust them out a bit inorder to get it to an alignment shop. You can eyeball it enough to get it there, but don;t drive around like that much more than getting it to the shop.

EDIT: or do a Gump suggests. I'm taking too long to make replies.
