Trucks Of The Month
|
The
front coil springs on your Ford Ranger sit up inside of the coil bucket
over a couple of ears, tabs, or whatever you want to call them. They
keep the coil from popping out sideways. Ford didn't design these trucks
to do hard wheeling, so if the front axle drops far enough flexing the
suspension, there is a chance the coil could get pulled out from the
upper mount. The chances of this happening increase quite a bit if
you're using extended radius arms.
OOPS!
Some
people make a coil retainer;
But
honestly, a hose clamp is the cheapest, simplest solution. They're
actually stronger than you may think. Just make sure they're tight or
you'll hear a rattle in the front suspension.
