Ford Repair: ball joints, rear drive shaft, dana spicer


Question
I have a 89 bronco II and I was wondering if the ball joints that fit a 93-97 ranger will fit my bronco, I found a place where I can get the upper and lower in pairs for about 48.00. the ball joints they have are D35 oem ball joints, new dana 28 TTB dana/spicer ball joints. Also I have a clicking noise coming from the rear drive shaft it sounds like anyway. I had new leaf springs installed last yr sometime and it has done it ever since, I thinking that the old leaf springs make the pumpkin angle at the wrong pitch and messed up the drive shaft, and when I put the new leaf springs on it put the pumpkin back at the correct pitch and the end result is a clicking noise for the drive shaft, the reason I think it is the shaft it only does it when you accelerate.

Answer
I am not able to answer parts questions. Where ever you are buying these parts should be able to answer that question. Chances are that if those parts aren't shown for your vehicle then they won't fit.

As far as the driveshaft, those had problems with the slipfit spline drying out. You can pull back the boot and put some grease on the splines to lube it. Probably want to check the ujoints also to see if one of them is binding.
