When I changed the upper control arm on my 2008 2wd Ranger, I put jack under the lower control arm that way preload is already set when tightening bolts because all the weight is on the coil spring.

After watching this I was confident enough to do this myself. Mine was a bit trickier coming out and putting in but I did get it thanks to this video.

Just had these and lower ball changed on my 05 Ranger FX4 Off Road. Labor wasn’t cheap that’s for sure. Plus I put new shocks and leveling kit on it. Just got new tires today. Truck looks great!

My daughter bought her first vehicle, a 2005 Ford Ranger FX4 Level 2. It’s in great shape, but will probably need bushings and ball joints. This looks like an easy fix, glad you posted it now I will easily be able to swap those control arms out.

Nice. I love the rangers and kick myself for selling the 4wd I had but a buddy needed it and I had my little 2.3l xlt just sitting around. 2000 with 100,000 miles and runs great and I love it. Will find another 4wd I'm sure, and I'll need it as I'm about to retire. Will be ordering stuff from your store now but wish you had a larger webpage. Looking forward to doing business with you and thanks for the vids. If not for them, I would not order parts. I think it's a way to thank you for a great vid.

Final torque under load (put the wheel back on, lower, then torque down the arm bolts).

@cliff33214 жыл бұрын
Does your ranger have a lift which causes the steep angle on the control arm tie rod?
@androidken2 жыл бұрын
You aren't supposed to tighten the bolts on the upper control arm until you let the truck down to add load or rather preload. Then you torque them to 83-103ftlbs.

I had some clunking coming from the front end and closer inspection revealed that it was the ball joint being worn out that caused the sound.
@davidl22813 жыл бұрын
What if the opening on the knuckle is to small because the owner had wrong arm n he tightened it up n it practically closed the slot? I've tried to use a chisel n open it up n have gotten it bigger but the arm/ball joint won't go in, I even heated it up, I can't get the original back in either, im afraid if I keep hammering on it trying to split the gap more it could break, anyone have any advice? Thanks for any help.
@65deh3 жыл бұрын
If you're trying to open it up while it's still on the truck remove the steering knuckle and work on it on the work bench. If it breaks go to the junk yard and get another knuckle. It shouldn't cost very much.
