How do you change a ball joint on a Ford Ranger?

It depends on the year, and whether it's 2WD or 4WD. I suggest entering your question again with the year. People have posted answers for specific year models. All Ford Rangers from 1993 to 1997 have "I-beam" front suspensions as opposed to the upper and lower control arms that most vehicles have. There is a detailed answer for replacing the upper and lower ball joints for '93 through '97 Ford Ranger ball joints at the question: "How do you change ball joints on 199X Ford Rangers?"
