swaw bar to radius arm

[ksab]

Im working on my friends 87 ranger and im trying to finish this little project up but cant find the correct parts.they all seem to be discontinued.whats going on is I droped both I beams changed all the U joints,seals,ball joints,painted every thing. But upon reassembly I found the hardware on the spindle was installed wrong.Essentuly I would like to just buy new+correct hardware.Its a new truck to him and we dont know if it came with auto locking or manual hubs originaly.I know theres stuff missing too. does any one know where to get all the hardware that goes on after the wheel berring,and if the two (auto + manual) are compatable?

Im also trying to locate some sway bar bushings for this.I need the sway bar to radius arm bushings.I found the bar to frame ones. if anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it

Auto hubs use different spindle nuts than manual hubs. Everything else is the same. For the sway bar, what you're looking for is a "sway bar repair kit." Any auto parts store will have them.

i believe there is an article in the tech library that may help you out.

Thanks for posting that response. I've been trying to find those stupid bushings for ever. Somebody on here said they got some at Summit, but had to call them to get the correct ones.
