All, I am in the process of replacing the front brakes on my 2003 Ranger 2WD Coil Springs, (new rotors, inner and out bearings, seals and pads) and discovered that the spindle on the left is in bad shape and the one on the right is better but.....
Shopping for replacements I am finding that the Dorman are $260 a piece (WOW!). Are there any less expensive options? How about some used ones from low mileage trucks? What year range fit my truck such as 01-10, etc....
I am including some shots of the right and left side for the trained eye to give me some feedback also.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time
Thank You, I ended up purchasing the genuine Ford Spindles from a local dealer for a competitive price (about $50 more for both sides than one Dorman) and not have to worry about an aftermarket part. For reference to those that may end up having to go thru this here are some part numbers:
This is for a 2003 2WD, 3.0L Coil Springs
Left side Knuckle/Spindle 5L5Z3106AA
Right Side Knuckle/Spindle 5l5Z3105AA
NOTE: If you have the torsion bars the part number ends in BA
