5 lug drum-anyone know size or part #

blckstng96 · Apr 15, 2008

im using ranger axles to convert my lx to 5lug,just wondering what size the rear drums are or if anyone knows what year ranger i should order the new drums for or if you have the part number.they are only 20 each from autozone so im just going to get new ones.thanks for the help

i know its the same thing thats on the rangers but what year ranger should i order for.some years have diff size drums.im trying to get the part number or year ranger i should order drums for.

I purchased a set for a '90 Aerostar with 9" drum brakes. I believe ALL years Ranger drums with the 7.5" rear end work. Bring in your old 4-lug drum with you if you're nervous about this purchase to compare.

9" drums.

I beleive a '90 ranger with the 2.3L And 7.5" should have what you need

The v-6 rangers did have the bigger drums. Just order the smaller ones (9 inch seems to be the consensus), and you should be fine.

they are 9".

Suggest buying used or new?

Mustang5L5 · Apr 15, 2008

New is something like $25 anyway.

Used brake parts (rotors/drums/pads) are a bad idea in my opinion

Nova · Apr 16, 2008

the drums are $40 apiece from my local autozone.

blckstng96 · Apr 16, 2008

Yeah,i plan on buying new.thats why i was looking for the size and possible part number.

magnj · Apr 16, 2008

Ok, I was gonna jy them at my local place for 20$ a piece because online autozone quotes 45 a piece...but I feel weird about used drums too.

45$ and they don't have them in my store

Buy new. Trust me i've learned my lesson over the years trying to save a few bucks with used parts. You put something used in and there's a prob (there's always something) and then you end up buying new stuff anyway and gotta do the job twice!

Now i just buy new from the start and do it right the first time. I've done plenty of things twice of even 3 times before i learned that lesson

well I bought the axles used but for 110 shipped I couldn't pass them up. Will I need a new seal and new bearings as well...I figure they are both a good idea while I have it open.

I was going to suggest the Ford 5-lug drum kit, but it seems the price has gone through the roof on it.

Way back when i ran 5-lug drums, i sourced out used 100K mile axles at $75 each. That was $150 for used axles.

The Ford 5-lug drum kit was $180 when i bought it. That was for 2 brand new axles and 2 brand new drums. It was a pretty damn good deal.

However, i just looked it up and the same kit is now $400!!!!

Don't that kit come with a little better axle?

It doesn't say in that ad.

Either way, how much are upgraded 28-spliine 5-lug axles from Superior or Moser? $250ish? Toss on two $40 drums and that still doesn't equal $400

magnj · Apr 17, 2008

yea there was no way I was buying that kit. I think I'm going for it this weekend if I can get a hold of some new drums.
Any input on whether or not I should do new bearings? They are like 35$ at AutoZone.

Mustang5L5 · Apr 17, 2008

Now is the time. At least do new seals. The bearings need a puller to get them out so make sure you get the correct one
