hey guys Ive ran into a problem with my 92 ford ranger 2.3 2wd. I was doing the wheel bearing/ rotors cuz my rotors are warped. But ive ran into a problem. my original rotors that came off my ranger seems to be bigger in the bore hub. What i mean is that on my rotor size is the same but the inner bore hub where the inner wheel bearing seats is bigger than the replacement rotors that i got. i measured and on the old rotor its about 2.6 inches. while the replacement rotors are 2.5 so the rotor and bearing does not fit. ive punched out the race out the old rotor and tried putting it into the new one. but yet again it doesnt fit. does anyone have any idea on whats going on?. I brought this truck off marketplace for 800 so i donmt know about the originality about it. ive also tried looking online about the problem that i have but most just say that i got the correct rotor if its (2wd or 4wd) but i forsure know i got the right on. the measures on the bore hub hole on the rotor is 2.5 inches so it should fit but it doesnt. the spindle shalf is just way bigger.


im lost here and i'll appreciate the help i can get

first pic is the old rotor. Second pic is the replacement rotors. third pic is the wheel bearing from the old rotor on the new replacement rotor. two finals are the work and my truck

try getting the part numbers from the old bearings and see if they match a later year rotor, like 1997.
more pictures of the steering knuckle and suspension parts may help someone recognize what you have.
