Front driver side spindle

[Simon00]

I’ve been looking for a front spindle for my 2000 ranger 4x2 2.5l but haven’t found any it looks like it’s discontinued everywhere and i can’t go to a junkyard because I’m from Iceland and there are maybe 3-4 2x4 rangers here in Iceland but mostly older models so it’s pretty hard to find used one here can anybody help me with it I'm not looking too making it any higher because I’m lowering it

use caution when buying used spindles. the underside of the axle stub wears from the bearings.
only a fraction of a mm wear can allow the bearing's inner race to wobble and cause wheel vibrations.
you being in Iceland we should ask how importing used parts is accomplished, tariffs, restrictions, etc.


EDIT
car-parts.com is a common source in the U.S.A.
larger sources may ship internationally.

Do you know anyone in the states that could get one from a yard and be willing to ship it to you? I looked on www.car-part.com and there are ton of them on there. I picked New York, but any state would probably do.

I had a set of high mileage spindles on a old mustang that had the wear problem. To stop it, I just took a center punch and put some dimples spaced around the spindle, and that was enough to lock the bearing race down and keep it from turning and eating into the spindle.

If you have a good machine shop in Iceland, they can also weld up the spindle, and then set it up in a milling machine and turn the spindle back down to restore it. Sometimes you can fit them in a lathe also.

The problem is the spindle broke after a accident and I don’t know anyone in the states to look for one

I put in google Ai, "do any used auto parts yards ship internationally" and got several hits of places that sell parts and cars and do ship cars internationally, and parts in bulk internationally. This is going to get expensive, but you could call them and see if they could ship your spindle.
