I bought a 94 F150 4x4 that had a rusted out radus arm on pass side. Not to bad if a fix...right? Well in the process of towing it on a dolly and making a turn on my driveway the steering got screwed up. Pass. side wheel pushed into fender & steering fluid all over.
So now I have a good radus arm on. The steering wheel turns and kind of steers to the right but when I go back to center and turn left it spins freely with no steering of the wheels. I think a seal is out on the top of the box.
Just wondering if there is any other options other than swaping out for a different box. Anyone know if a Ranger box will swap out for the F150?
THANKS for any info!

I haven't checked personally but, Ranger boxes should be the same ones as the F150 ('83-'97 Rangers that is, newer ones use a rack and pinion). Supposedly they used the same box all the way up to F350's.

Good...I'll let you know if it works. I found out you can strip out the gears in those boxes. Good FYI for car dolies...dont unhook in a turn.

another good FYi would be to not use a car dolly to tow a ttb truck with a missing radius arm :teehee:

It wasnt totaly missing...if I didnt get it back home that night it would be at the scrap yard (but it still might end up there)

Got it in and works good, seem to be the same. There was even a remanfactured tag on the old one.
BTW... if anyone has stock shocks and coilsprings they want to get rid of PM me.

Thanks for the info!!
