How to service and repair the spindle on a 4X2 on Ford Ranger?

Service and repair of the spindle in 4X2 vehicles begins by hoisting the vehicle in the air, removing all tires and wheels followed by disc brake shields. Put a suitable jack under the lower arm of the front suspension before taking away the upper shock absorber nut/washer assembly and bushing. Separate the front wheel spindle from the ball joint by first taking off the upper ball joint retaining nut and pinch bolt. Begin the procedure by detaching the front shock absorber by removing both its nuts followed by removal of the tie-rod castellated nut after removing the cotter pin from it. Detaching the tie-rod end from the front wheel spindle becomes possible using a Pitman Arm Puller along with a Coil Spring Compressor to compress the coil spring. The process starts with removal of the lower ball joint castellated nut while extracting its cotter pin followed by the Pitman Arm Puller to detach both parts from the front wheel spindle. Finish this step by taking off the front wheel spindle. When installing the cotter pin position it through the lower ball joint castellated nut starting from outboard to inboard with finger-thinner fingers to maintain wheel/tire assembly safety. First position the lower ball joint on its spindle with a new castellated nut then install a new cotter pin followed by installing the upper ball joint on the spindle with a new pinch bolt and nut. Install the tie rod castellated nut by adding a new cotter pin and maintain the same direction when installing the pin as before. You should begin by placing the two lower nuts on the front shock absorber followed by adding the upper shock absorber bushing that includes a nut and washer. Conclude the brake disc shield installation then place the tire together with the wheel components followed by checking and correcting the front end alignment.
