Default 1988 Ford Ranger 2wd Spindles needed

Hey all,

New to the forum. I just bought an old ford ranger, 1988 model with the 2.0. Its the 2wd model and i found the spindles to be worn out along with the hub assembly. Got new hub assemblies/rotors, but I cannot find spindles anywhere. Even the ford dealership cannot get them. Anyone have any suggestions where i can find some in good shape or have some to sell me?
Haven't checked local junkyards in person yet.

Thanks all. Nate

Your best bet will be those local junkyards. Shipping a pair of spindles will be pretty expensive, and there's no way to tell for sure that they're not worn also. Spindles for that year are a wear item as far as the brake pins. You also find them to have been overheated around the wheel bearing pretty often.
