- 2002 Ranger 3.0L RWD XLT
Howdy. I'm in the process of replacing the lower control arm on the passenger side and hit a snag-- the rear pivot bolt is hitting part of my exhaust. My truck is a 2002 3.0L V6 XLT RWD. My repair manual kindly omits any mention of this.
Here is a picture:
Has anyone else encountered this problem? My thoughts are:
1) Try jacking up the exhaust slightly to see if it moves enough
2) Remove the exhaust
3) Cut the damn exhaust off and maybe have some yahoo re-weld it back
4) Drink enough beer tonight to forget about it.
Any helpful comments are appreciated.
