The SUSPENSION
2001 Ford Ranger

The frame on this truck has rusted to the point where it is unsafe to drive. the rear bumper actually fell of the vehicle while it was being driven. i took off the bed and cut off the rear part of the frame and welded on a new rear section and put on new leaf spring hangers and re installed the bumper a few years ago and re coated the frame with paint but now it has gotten worse to the point where i can no longer drive it as there are actual holes rusted thru. it needs a frame replacement or it just a parts vehicle.

Severely rusted frame. while the spare tire has not fell off yet, i had the truck up on a rack at patrick airforce base to change the oil. i've known for a while that the frame is bad. the truck only has 81,000 miles on it, but looking at the frame, it won't last much longer.

Frame rail not formed correctly defective.

The SUSPENSION
2005 Ford Ranger

The passenger side rear shackle rusted completely off and the leaf spring almost went through the bed of the truck. the truck was not drivable until the passenger side rear shackle was replaced. this was discovered after driving over a bump in the road, hearing a loud bang and experiencing a jolt. once parked the truck was completely looked over, which lead to more discoveries. a giant rust hole has formed in the frame behind the shackle on the driver's side rear area of the truck. this truck has been well maintained throughout the years and was professionally under coated a couple years ago with no holes in the frame or visible rust at that time. the frame has deteriorated rapidly. luckily i did not try to tow anything with this truck because the rear part of the frame likely would have been ripped off, losing what was being towed and potentially causing an accident. there is also a large hole forming in the bed of the truck.
