Welcome to the forum

Shouldn't have a problem there were only 2 front suspension systems on 4x4 Rangers, 1983 to 1997, and 1998 to 2011

You need 2 Lower ball joints, part number FOTZ-3050-A
And two upper ball joints, FOTZ-3049-B

They are for 1990-1997 Rangers and other models, engine size doesn't matter

You will also want to replace both front axle U-joints while the hub is off
You will need to find out which front axle you have, read here: https://therangerstation.com/tech_li...na_28_35.shtml
This will tell you what size u-joints to get
