I have a 99 ford ranger 2 wheel drive. The drive shaft broke lose the other day. So i went to salvage yard and got drive shaft off a 2001 ranger. After i put drive shaft on, the rear end feels super lose. I cant go around a corner going 30mph and hitting a bump with out the rear end feeling like its about to break or come all the way lose. I checked suspension for any lose bolts. Have not found any. Any info would be great. Thank u

 

Check the attachments at each end of the leaf springs. They keep the rear axle in position. They have a tendency to rust out and might be what caused the problem with the drive shaft in the first place.
