Most auto-parts chains use the same ****ed-up computer software...
That coupled with a confusion between the Dana 35 Dana28/35 axle and the earlied Dana28 axle....
The ASSumption that later non 4.0 Rangers from 1991-1997 that have "Dana28 axles in the front" use the rotors with the smaller stubs , shafts and bearings of the 1983-1989
Dana 28 axle.
Did they ask you what axle ratio you have? because the reason they did is the "hybred" axle was only made in 3.45 & 4.10ratio, so if you have 3.27, 3.55 or 3.73 you have a "TRUE" Dana35.
But as your rotors have the larger bearings you have a TRUE Dana35...
Buy your rotors from Rock auto, several months ago I bought two pairs of rotors
from Rock Auto, one pair of Bendix (plain rotors) and one pair of Stop-Tech drilled sport rotors and BOTH are correct for the Non-ABS 1997 front axle I have in my Ranger....
If you were local I'd offer you the "plain" Bendix rotors for what I paid for them
They are around $40each shipped from Rock auto.
for whatever it's worth I paid less (shipped) for the drilled rotors that I could buy "stock" rotors for locally...
From Advanced, AutoZone or NAPA
Rock Auto is a sponsored vendor, so there is a "promo code" to get a discount...
and save even more money...
You must get rotors for a 1995-97 Ranger as earlier rotors (for the single piston calipers) have a different "hat" spacing.
The friction disc is moved outwards away from the steering knuckle by approximately 9mm
this was to allow more room on the knuckle for the bolted on caliper bracket...
