Update: replaced my sway bar end links and bushing ☺ took it for a 5/10 minute drive and no rattling woohoo



Another question: here's my rotor that I was actually paying attention to today. It looks like my rotor and hub are one part even though I have a 2wd truck.

 

That looks like mine....

 

Oh, well I thought that the rotor/hub assembly was only a single part in 4wd rangers. So since that's the same as yours, have you changed your rotors during a brake job yet?
If so, do you have to change/reuse the wheel bearings?

 

2WD front rotors have the hub built in. The 4WD rotor does NOT have the hub built in.

 

Oh damn. will if I do the wheel bearings I may as well do the whole brake rotor/pad replacement too. I guess I'll wait until my pads need replacing.
I misunderstood, thanks for the clarification and dealing with my ignorant self lol.

 

No problem, glad to help. I have a 2003 2WD Edge (looks like your photo). My son has a 1999 XLT 4WD. His has the hub assembly that bolts to the spindle carrier and has the rotor that the lug studs stick through.

 

Gotcha, well I'm less confused now haha, you da man!
