Dorman 630-244 is built for rear left service on Ford Ranger trucks that use a solid shaft axle configuration.

What It Helps Repair

• Axle shaft damage from wear, impact, or fatigue

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear left fitment by year, axle configuration, and spline count before installation.
