Front Spindle
In 92, the spline is different - depending on who made the differential and type of hubs. This from the local Ford dealer. They show several options, and no longer stock any of the splines. Junkyard splines are as bad as mine.
I have the long snout spindle with automatic hubs, and can not find a replacement or OE, that there is any confidence in the existing bearings, races and such will fit. The long snouts are prone to stretch and stress midways up the spline. That is what mine has...the last nut spins freely for 3/4" and then tightens up and will not turn with fair effort. Shops who repair this, say the only option is to air impact that nut off and replace the spline, which means all new everything. NOthing on the threads that you can see or feel, but the nut locks tight.
There are a couple of 4x4 shops who sell a complete kit of splines, hub, bearings/races, hardware and hub kits....$400-600 per side, but you have everything needed to complete the job, as the only OE part you keep is the knuckle.
Best of luck, and I will watch this to see what others say, or options to repair my setup. I have all new rotors/brakes so I am not pressed, yet....but I am sure the u-joints will fail at some point and need replacing. As will the rotors.

Ok, no. The 93 spindle won't work. Notice your calipers are held on by slider bolts.
The 93 will have the rubber compression pieces (the name escapes me) to hold the calipers on which takes a completely different caliper.
I believe 94 and up should match.
