I have a 1992 ford ranger the passenger side spring tower mount is completely rusted and the front shock and spring have dropped making the truck unsafe to drive the brake line was smashed when it gave way. My boyfriend also had a 1992 ford ranger that this happened to causing him to wreck and total the truck so we had to junk it. I wish I would have known it was a common thing for the 1992's only on the passenger side. It must be pretty common as ford has made a replacement part!!!!

Suspension failure. Right front spring seat on my 1992 ford ranger has completely corroded. Coil spring and shock absorber have broken through failed spring seat causing vehicle to sag considerably on the right and pull to the right when driving. Additionally, the frame arm where the spring seat is riveted has also corroded to the point where ford refuses to attempt a repair due to fear of liability. Ford dealer confirms that the left spring seat is not corroded and appears normal in appearance and function.
