    2wd Front Wheel Bearing Replacement?

    Appreciate that! Perhaps that's why I got the growl noise then because either the front races weren't all the way in from the factory or perhaps I did something wrong with the bearings... I did this back in 2013, is that something that if too tight they would have failed earlier or would it...

    2wd Front Wheel Bearing Replacement?

    Question for you. I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. When I purchased rotors two years ago they came with races already in them. I did use Timken bearings but didn't use their races, since the races in the rotors were new... My bad for sure. I started getting a front end growl...

    Better to replace ENTIRE AC compressor or just the ac clutch?

    So I ordered the Motorcraft compressor... This may be a stupid question but how do I know for sure if it has oil in it when I get it. Is it something that when I remove the back plug on the two ports oil will just pour out when I hold it upside down? I just want to make sure that if it doesn't...

    Better to replace ENTIRE AC compressor or just the ac clutch?

    Thanks for the information. So on Rock auto they have the Motorcraft YCC277 compressor which looks like this: Amazon has the same part via ycc277 but it looks like this... their site also states it's compatible with a 2001 ranger xlt 2.3l but the ports are different. I need them in...

    Better to replace ENTIRE AC compressor or just the ac clutch?

    Thanks for the info. This seller made this listing as he said his other one wouldn't work with a 2.3l ranger. http://www.ebay.com/itm/281064740045?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D281064740045%26_rdc%3D1 Does that seem good? I guess is...

    Better to replace ENTIRE AC compressor or just the ac clutch?

    So more of a general question. I believe the air gap on my ac compressor clutch is now too large. There are no shims to remove and it's 12 years old... I was looking on ebay and a new compressor clutch is about $120 for a motorcraft... A new AC compressor with new clutch and everything else evap...
