99 ranger 4x4 spindle broke

[Dylan9302]

Hi guys I've been running around looking for this part.. For has one for 500 bucks.. I'm sure the part I broke is called a spindle but I could be wrong.. I broke the mount for the tie rod off it.. I know that only 98 - 2000 will work just for bolt in but what about Mazda? Will later years work? Because the only reason it wont work for a ranger is because the got rid of pulse hubs right? But did Mazda 4x4 switch?

Thanks dylan

You are talking about the steering knuckle.

Great.. Thanks, everyone calls it a spindle but about 15 scrappers dont have one. By if it's called a steering nubile that changes thinks.. I'll be looking tomoro again.

When I think spindle I think a 2wd truck that has the spindle as part of the steering knuckle (spindle is where the wheel bearings ride)

Yours being a 4x4 has a steering knuckle that the wheel bearing/hub assembly bolts to.

The older 4x4 trucks had a knuckle with removable spindle....

Ok thanks... Know I can Phone all the wreckers again.. Do you know which year Mazda work? Because I've heard the pvh right through to 2006?

I can't fully swear to it, but I'm pretty darn sure Mazda switched to the live-spindle setup at the same time the Rangers did, otherwise it seems I would've seen something about it by now.

98-2000...same as the ranger as they are the same truck.
