This video shows you how to install a front upper ball joint on your 1993-1997 Ford Ranger. Car and truck suspensions combine a number of moving parts for safe and stable handling. The ball joint is the crucial moving component that ties those parts together. The ball-in-socket joint can wear out and loosen over time. Or, the rubber protective boot can tear, allowing contaminants to seize the joint. Bad ball joints are a common failure point on vehicle inspections because they lead to unsafe driving conditions. Fortunately, they are relatively easy to replace with the right know-how.
This repair was done on a 1996 Ford Ranger XL 3.0L Extended Cab Pickup 2-Door RWD and the process should be similar on the following vehicles:
1993 Ford Ranger
1994 Ford Ranger
1995 Ford Ranger
1996 Ford Ranger
1997 Ford Ranger
