Today we completed the Ranger that I started yesterday.
It got a host of work.
- New genuine viscous hub
- All new OutbackArmour suspension upgrade, including the no fuss performance shocks, matches to constant 300kg rear springs and HD coils, along with the OA progressive rate jounce stops in the rear. It even got a set of OA upper control arms
- Then a Transmission service and filter. As U can see it was well past due. I have recommended to get it serviced again in 15'000km just to flush it all out.
- I also put on some rubber hose on the wiring harness that runs over the engine. I have been doing this since 2012 when I first noticed the issue.
This ranger had the "FACTORY" Ford lean. You know the one 10mm down on the left rear, and they say it's due to the fuel tank, but not all of the Rangers have it.
The beauty about the OA struts is they are height adjustable. So after the kit went in it still was down by 10mm in the left rear, so I removed the LF strut and increased the spring seat height by adding a 5mm spacer(which is supplied). By doing this it has levelled the vehicle out perfectly and it's sitting even on all 4 corners.
