Which MOOG parts do I need?
Which MOOG parts do I need?
I see on the RockAuto website they have a selection of different ball joints and UCA's for my 98 4x4 Ranger. I have the two piece RH UCA design and I was wondering if it could be replaced with the UCA that looks identical to the LH UCA (1 piece). As for the LBJ's, it says one size fits a certain inside diameter LCA and one size just says lower, front, "problem solver". So far I have these part numbers in my shopping cart: K8695T, K8710T, K8708T, and ES3461. I don't want to screw up my order as i've never ordered from them before. Any help is much appreciated!
K8710T is for the original 2-piece passenger side UCA that was used on 98~2003.5 torsion bar Rangers. It replaces only the ball joint and carrier, not the complete control arm. Although there still may be some available in the parts pipeline, the 2-piece style arm has been discontinued by both Ford and MOOG and superceded to the 1-piece style replacement arm (MOOG #K80068).
Note that these numbers are for with Rangers with torsion bar suspension ONLY (98+ 4x4, 2000 Trailhead, 2001+ Edge).

Yuppers. Thats what I am running on mu truck right now.
To do the whole job using one piece UCAs on both sides plus lower ball joints and tie rod ends, you need:
1 K8708T
1 K80068
2 K8695T
2 ES3461
If the truck still has the fixed factory alignment plates, you'll also need 1 alignment cam kit for each side plus an alignment.

I believe it does. Do I need the cam kit because of the switch from the 2 piece to the 1 piece UCA? If so, which kit do I need? When I did them on my other truck I never got an alignment cam kit and the camber/caster were perfect.
I am going to do be doing all the work myself plus the alignment. I need to have it done this week so i'm trying to get everything ordered correctly the first time. I'm also going to have fun replacing my steering rack on monday.
