ford ranger fault

[Treegeek]

Has any one had problems with ranger rear axles ??? Mine had a strange sound from prop shaft has developed on to a small oil leak prop input on rear axle and a vibration at 70mph its 55 plate less than 70k on the clock.

It sounds like a union joint to me, the seal is probably leaking because of excessive prolonged worn union joint.

Our 10 plate ranger had just had a new set of bfg all terrain on the back and new rear UJ's. The clicking in the suspension was caused by blown shock absorber seals.

My 56 ranger had a faulty diff and notchy gear box at 26k, it was a great truck but had to sell it as I'm a car nut and needed something practical and fast.

Weve got a 58 plate and 07 both jump out of 5th gear - you have to drive it holding it in with your knee

The driveshaft will be bearing and or seal. The vibration maybe something to do with a worn steering component or suspension fault.

you might have a little dent in your propshaft that can cause a lot of vibrations iv had it on a hilux if it has it will cause the prop to run out of line and cause an oil leak from the seal if it has you wanna get it fixed befor it breaks the diff
