problem #1

Ranger 4WD 6-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 42,043 miles
I took my 2000 Ford Ranger into get an oil change and have the front end alignment checked as it had a pull to the left. I was told that I needed to have the ball joints and anti-sway bars replaced before they could do an alignment. My vehicle only had 42,043 miles on it at this time. I contacted Ford headquarters and asked to have them replaced at their cost and they refused. I have talked to different mechanics who own older Ford Ranger and they said that the ball joints should not be failing at such a low mileage. At this point I am in the process of getting ready to replace the parts myself, so no replacement has been done.
