How to remove, inspect, and install the upper control arm and balljoint as a single unit on 2000-2011 Ford Ranger?

The upper control arm and balljoint must be replaced as a single unit. To begin removal, loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle, support it securely on jackstands, and remove the wheel. For early 2WD models, remove the brake disc and dust shield. Place a floor jack under the lower control arm and raise it slightly, keeping the jack in position throughout the process. On 2WD models, mark the position of the cams on the upper control arm cam bolts. For 4WD models, support the spindle/steering knuckle to prevent tilting away from the vehicle before separating the upper control arm. Remove the pinch bolt nut and pinch bolt securing the upper balljoint stud to the spindle/steering knuckle, then carefully pry the ballstud out. Use a puller to separate the upper control arm from the spindle/steering knuckle and remove the upper control arm cam bolts to detach the arm from the frame. Inspect the control arm bushings for any cracks or tears; if damaged, take the control arm to an automotive machine shop for new bushings, as this requires specialized tools. If the balljoint is worn, the control arm must be replaced. For installation, reverse the removal steps, ensuring to align the marks made on the upper control arm adjustment cams for 2WD models before tightening the pivot nuts and bolts, which should only be tightened once the vehicle is on the ground. For 4WD models, replace all four alignment plates with new alignment cams and tighten the pivot nuts and bolts to the specified torque. After lowering a 2WD model, tighten the pivot nuts and bolts, starting with the forward bolt and nut, followed by the rear bolt and nut.

Ford Ranger Control Arm

The Control Arm which is found in the Ford Ranger vehicles is a component that connects the front wheel assemblies to the frame of the car to ensure it plays a vital role in the working of the suspension system of the car. In most suspensions, a single wheel is restrained by either one or two control arms, the one end of the control arm is bolted to the chassis while the other end holds the wheel. That design lets the radial position of the wheel be accurately determined but contains extra parts to control movement. Now, different types of control arms have been implemented in the years prior to the Ranger design, the well known A-arm, and another known as the wishbone. The A-arm has a single Pivot while the wish bone has two bearings on the inboard end for enhanced maneuvering. While in macpherson strut front suspensions control arms are positioned vertically with respect to the car's axis with diagonal radius bars to counteract any movement. In all the progression of the Ford Ranger's control arm design reveals that there are constant improvements in the suspension systems, improving its control and safety.

We provide a wide range of Ford Ranger Control Arm at the best prices possible. If you need Ford Ranger Control Arm, you can shop with confidence on our website. All our OEM parts come with a manufacturer's warranty and are delivered to your door step with a fast delivery service.
