I finally got the wheel lugs off a new to me 2003 4.0 ltr xlt ranger 4 door extended car fx level 2. I want to do the front hubs but when i'm looking them up some places show that there's a differences in the left and right (maybe the abs plug location?) and some places show there is no difference both hubs are identical also the front wheel mounting studs show two sizes 1/2-20 and 12mmx1.5 do i have put a thread gauge on em to find out ? I'd appreciate any input on these two things, I think this truck has a lot of mazda parts because i did the fuel filter and i swear it looked like one i did years ago on a mazda truck even the connectors looked mazda

 

I can't answer your other questions, But Ford built the North America version of the Mazda B-Series from 1994 to 2009, So the Mazda was made from Ford parts.

 

Welcome to the forum

Odd, I don't see those choices

Google: 2003 Ford Ranger 4x4 front hubs

These are chassis parts so engine and trim don't matter, just year and 2WD or 4WD, I think they all come with ABS sensors, even if you don't want them, lol

Now there are T6 Rangers, only sold outside US and Canada, and parts can come up for those on some sites
