97' 4x4 needs Radius arms

I need left and right radius arms for my 97' Ford Ranger supercab 4x4 4.0L, and I have looked anywhere and everywhere for them. The junkyard doesn't even have any. Any ideas? They are cracked where they mount the shock absorber and cause a vibration while driving. I'm about ready to bust out the welder soon.

You may have a real problem. I tried some online sources and it appears you can only get those arms for the 2wd. I don't know if the dealer is an option but if not the only suggestion I have is to check one of the national online sources like junkyarddog.com or similar. They will locate obscure parts but they won't be cheap. I'll be honest and say I don't know what you'd get and I suspect they'd be a real pain to remove. But I guess you could at least ask. I know this isn't much advise but I didn't see another post so I thought I'd try to help. Good luck.

the interchange will work from any ranger supercap from 83-97, they all had the TTB front end. though i would track down the year models from 91-97 as they have the dana 35 front end which is what you have (exact copy) though the shock mount on the dana 28 front radious are better because they wrap around the shock, instead of just a stud sticking out.
