got rear ended in my 2003 4cyl reg cab 2wd ranger and the bolts were sheared off top of right side mount, want to replace the mount, but cannot figure out how to access the bottom nut, is it necessary to remove the spring or just drop the shock.
Well we gotter done as follows;
removed shock, made it obvious spring had to come out,
had to take sway bar, top ball joint, tie rod and anti lock sensor loose, jack up motor slightly,
straight shot to bolt thru hole in boxed part of frame behind spring, reverse to button up. did this on a lift, do not think it can be done in driveway without a bunch of cussin, we needed two post jacks on the lift and it was still a bit tricky.
