Hell all,
I have a Ford Ranger 4X4, 1990. While working on the drivers side (left side) brake rotor yesterday I noticed that the left axle shaft has a great deal of movement in and out. When I checked the shop manual for my truck I could not find any mention of what keeps the left axle in place. I know that on the right side there is a "C" clip inside the differential. I have the following questions:
Is there a "C" clip inside the differential to keep the left axle shaft in place?
Or is it kept in place by the seal and bearing that reside in the steering knuckle that the shaft passes thorough.
How easy or hard is it to remove the left axle shaft.
How easy or hard is it to remove the bearing/seal on the shaft.
Any other things that I should know off?
Thanks
