I have a 1997 ford ranger and I'm trying to figure out if there is a conversation for the wheel bearing. I'm tired of having to pack bearings and replace rotors every time It goes they dont seem to last so I'm trying to find a way to convert it to a hub assembly if that's possible any information would be greatly appreciated thank you

 

Welcome to the forum

2WD or 4x4?

I have never found my 1994 4x4 front wheel bearings to be an issue, you need to tighten them correctly

 

And properly pack them with grease

 

4x4 I like the hub assembly better that's why I wanns try to convert it over

 

Not sure its been done before but anything is possible

1983-1997 Ranger 4x4s used TTB (Twin Traction Beam) with coil spring suspension
1998-2011 Ranger 4x4s used SLA (Short arm Long Arm) with Torsion Bar suspension

You can see the differences here: https://www.therangerstation.com/tec...spension.shtml

An SAS(solid axle swap) would be easier but you would still have wheel bearing not "hubs" like 1998 and up have

 

Thank you do you think the 97 98 are interchangeable?

 

For 4x4s no, 2wd maybe they still used coil springs
