Found a good deal on new lower ball joints - Ford Ranger Forums

If you have a newer Ranger and need lower ball joints, this looks pretty good.

I bought 2 sets since I figure with the 35's and t-bar crank I'll be wearing them out.

The only thing is they come without the snap ring and castle nut, but you can reuse your old ones. No cotter pin either, but that's pennies.

The price, shipped, is about $25.00 for a pair -- not bad. I asked for and got a concession on shipping buying two sets at once so my price is even lower.

Just thought I pass that along. I need ball joints because I tore the boots over mine putting on the spindles.

n3elz · 05-09-2005

No, ebay is DOWN. The link is fine. Most things are not available over there right now. Go log on and see what you can do -- not much till they fix it. There's a message on the General Announcements Board on eBay -- IF you can get to it!

Here's the text of the announcement:

Those are the same ball-joints I bought. I paid a little more for mine tho ( 38$ each ). I picked mine up at a Ford service centre... didnt have the nuts nor cotterpins, but it did have the snap ring.

Ever consider, that the site doesnt go down just when you look at it, maybe JUST MAYBE we looked at it while it was up, and it didnt work. It works now... Big Crybaby, you can be wrong ONCE in your life John.. haha

FORZDA · 05-10-2005

Will these fit the mazdas as well?

n3elz · 05-10-2005

Yes. The part number for both front ends is the same, I do believe. You can verify that easily by going to a site that sels them online, and looking up joints for a Ranger and a Mazda.

The guy shipped me two sets for $10 total shipping, so I got two sets for $40.

Ever consider that your momma told you that if you don't have anything nice to say, you shouldn't say anything at all?

Pinecone · 05-10-2005

I may have to buy some:) They are only the size of a thumbtack?

n3elz · 05-10-2005

???? ^^^^^

Thumbtack? I don't understand, lol.

They are about the size of your fist, more or less.

Pinecone · 05-10-2005

I was looking at the pic and they looked smaller than the thumbtack, lol.

n3elz · 05-10-2005

Above them are the plastic covers that protect the boot and threads in shipping -- maybe that's what you're seeing.

Pinecone · 05-10-2005

Aha:) Well I hope they sell these more often, since there is only a few hours left and i have no dinero to spend on these at the moment.
