Another great video - thank you so must for investing the time into making these videos for us. As a PX2 Ranger owner I find them incredibly informative and useful.
Thanks. I did exactly what you did on my Ford Ranger, replaced my right Upper Control Arm by myself after watching your tutorial. It goes smoothly and now all the clunking and slight steering to the right all gone. I plan to replaced my left UCA as well, but it's bushing were not that bad as my other side so I might do it next time instead. To complete the control arm package, may you please do a Lower Control Arm replacement? And may I ask something, my ranger is a Manual transmission 2.2Liter. There is a bit of thug or clicking sound underneath when I change gears specially at the lower ranges such as 1st, 2nd and reverse gear there is a click sound of metal after shifting and then the first bite when you accelerate is not smooth. When you try to accelerate there is a sudden bite and thug before it continue accelerating. There is like a "play" before the metal in transmission or clutch or something bites and accelerate. And this Play-Like sound is the clunk or click sound that I'm hearing. Some kind of shift-shock for a lack of a better term. And this sound is making the acceleration jerk a little before it smoothens. But this is manual transmission.
I dont know how to explain, but imagine two gears spinning left and then it stop and then you turn it right again, but since the gear is worn out and there is a space in the tooth, therefore it will not move backwards immediately, there is a play first before it touch the tooth of the gears and that is making a click and jerk when changing gears. My explanation is something like that in terms of feeling. And take note that shifting is also not too smooth now, the shift lever is not as smooth as it was before and it takes a little more force to push the lever now. And also the clutch pedal is now a little harder to press.
