99 Steering Knuckle

[curt2]

1999 Ranger "Off Road" 4x4 with Torsion Bar Suspension and Vacuum Lock Hubs.
Replaced a bent driver side Knuckle with a Junk Yard Knuckle that is bent even worse. Cannot find anymore "used" near home (North Central Ohio) and new from dealer is way to expensive.
Any ideas on aftermarket?
Anyone have one they will let go cheap? (free+Shipping would be awesome).
I do not have any desire to change it from stock at all.
Son drove through median ditch at about 70 MPH. Everything else hinges getting this knuckle thing straightened out.

Try using www.car-part.com is all I can say. They have listings of a lot of junkyards. Maybe you can find one closer to you.

I have one how about $15 bucks plus shipping?

Edit: Just noticed the vacuum hub part. The one I have is off and explorer so it doesn't have the hose attachment.

Thank you both

Thanks again.

Finally got the knuckle changed, lined everything up and am getting ready to put body parts back on. Need to know what the OEM Shock numbers were though. Not doing a lift or lower, just need new ones. The current shocks are so bad bad with rust and deterioration that i can't make out the information on them. Having heck of a time finding right ones for the "Off Road Edition". Dealer will sell them to me but won't give me the number, F@CK#R's.

Think all 4x4 suspensions are the same in those years, just go to www.rockauto.com and order 4 new 4x4 shocks, they have the KYB GR2's for about $122 shipped for all 4!

BTW since it was in a bad suspension impact, make sure you check all the balljoints and control arms! You should probably replace them anyway as they may be weakened internally now, think it cost me under $200 at rockauto for new upper control arms and lower balljoints.

Off-Road Package (ORP) models had larger and stiffer shocks than regular 4x4 Rangers. Monroe Reflex would probably be the aftermarket shock closest to stock.

That said, I just got new shocks for my daughter's Jeep and while doing a little digging on NAPA's website, it seems that the NAPA store brand shocks are really Monroe Sensa Tracs for about half the price. I paid $23 each. Sensa Tracs won't ride as firm as OE ORP shocks but then I thought my old '02 Ranger ORP rode too damn hard anyway. Roads here are mostly in pretty bad shape and I just got beat up driving the thing every day.

Thank you. I was "off-line" for a while.
I did check everything very well and replaced the upper and lower on the drivers side and all the ball joints and tie rod ends. Thankfully the new upper and lower came with the joints already installed and save me a few buck and some labor.
I just did the head gaskets and fuel injectors on it, the shocks are next.
