HELP!!! sagging front wheels on ranger
Hello-- my name is Todd, I am new to this site-- Can anyone help me with a bugging problem with sagging front wheels on my 93 ranger? I have asked 3 shops and they said it was simply because its a FORD and thats how Ford makes them, but 2 people have said that the ball joints are bad so I went back to the shops and they said ball joints were fine!!! Also I was told by several people to buy the camber adjusment brackets to prevent sagging from the J.C. WHITNEY auto supply. PLEASE HELP! My truck is a 1993 Ford Ranger STX extended cab 4x4 Sincerely-- TODD
. If your truck dosen't have it get the camber adjustment kit

Welcome to FTE!!
The front tires should not sag when the vehicle is parked on the level, but it may look like it's sagging while driving under certain conditions where the front end travel (vertical) is extreme. If your's appear to sag while parked on level ground, an aligment is in order. If your sagging is visible while parked on the level and the shop you have visited calls that "normal", then go find a new shop. Your front end shop should then tell you if you need to get different eccentrics or anything else to correct the camber setting. Many front end shops keep "special" eccentrics on hand in anticipation of the incomming vehicles needing them.
