Possibly a stupid question

The bracket is whats actually bad.

Ill pry go ahead and do both if the bracket ever gets here.

I found also i need to do the passenger side axle shaft joint and shaft bearing.

Add shit to the pile lol

Sounds like an excuse to swap in a D-35

Scored a set of 3.73 axles (D35/8.8LSD) from a 94 4.0 ranger this week.
Have been looking for awhile.

What's that saying, good things come to those who wait

Hopefully it's just the outer joint, that inner joint is a pain since there's a C clip holding that shaft into the diff... just so you know you'll have to cut the clamp on the boot between the two halves of that axle shaft. If you get two of the narrow screw type hose clamps or however many you need to get to that size that works to replace it...

i would rip it all out....even the coil buckets....repair the rot...replace the brackets.....clean it all up and prep and paint it...

then reassemble.

only way to go.

@rusty ol ranger
If you installed extended radius arms, you would not need to replace the stock bracket($). If had on side fail, I would replace both sides.

My local Firestone dealership is slow in Saturdays, because if this they offer a "Saturday LIFETIME alignment" package for +$35!! I've taken them.up in this fir every vehicle I own, FOREVER!! I get two alignments a year, whether I think that I need them or not, let alone any time that I change a significant suspension component ..)

My grandfather would say that spending extra money is not saying in money but in this case...I'm completely certain that the case stands for itself
