New Ball Joint from 1AAuto.com 1aau.to/ia/1ASB...
This video shows you how to install new, quality TRQ ball joints 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 process should be similar on the following vehicles:
1993 Ford Ranger
1994 Ford Ranger
1995 Ford Ranger
1996 Ford Ranger
1997 Ford Ranger

Great guide with thorough commentary, thanks for breaking it down. A word of caution for the DIY people, the upper ball joint requires an adapter for the universal press and you cannot press it back in without it so go ahead and get it when you rent the tools. its a half size cup to allow clearance. No harm, this video is about lowers, like the title says, but hopefully the advice saves time and headache.
Saved me lmfao
Thank you so much, this is the best step by step guide I’ve ever seen, no extra talking, you even included torque specs, and the camera work is amazing, keep it up, great job, this really helped me with my truck
Thanks for the video. Didn't need all of it, just wanted to verify house to removed the spindle. Camera work was great without all the shaking Blair witch effects like so many others.

Yeah, that's helpful. Just skip the part where you put the whole assembly together, insuring we don't know which end the ball joint goes in, nor which pieces of the ball joint press to use. 🤦♂️
Thank you for creating this video. I've got to order all of this to replace and rebuild my steering/suspension
I own a 97 ranger that is not a rusty junkyard fugitive. Would think you could do better.
A good rule of thumb is to always screw the nuts back onto to the tiered ends and ball joints, just a little bit, before you start striking the knuckle with a hammer. That way if you miss a strike, you won't gom up the threads on the ball joint.
Can you please make a video about replacing the starter on. 95 ford ranger Syx supercab 4l 6v

Thank you my brotha! got yourself a new subscriber 🎉
Do you need to install the snap ring that goes on the bottom of the lower ball joint? It has a groove and it comes with the snap ring, atleast my ball joints ive purchased
My ball joints when fully seated, gusranteed seated fully, they dont reach the bottom allowing to put onnthe snap ring, like they are the wrong size being too short
Do I have to remember to "go ahead" each step of the way? Or can I skip that part to save time?
I especially liked how there was no discussion whatsoever about the camber sleeve on the upper balljoint - or its purpose. Not even remotely important....
