Dorman - OE Solutions Leaf Spring Hanger P/N:722-240
Secure the front of your rear leaf spring to the frame with this Dorman leaf spring hanger, part number 722-073, a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2011 Ford Ranger and the 1998-2010 Mazda B4000. It is cataloged for the rear spring forward position, so it is the bracket that connects the front end of the rear leaf spring to the frame. Dorman also lists this part as a front leaf spring bracket kit.
The hanger holds the spring end where it meets the frame and carries spring loads at that point. A cracked, bent or rust-weakened hanger can let the spring shift out of place. If a failed front hanger is the cause of a rear clunk, uneven rear ride height or a rear axle that seems out of line, this Ford Ranger spring hanger replacement is designed to take its place. Professional installation is recommended. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether any originals may be reused.
