1994 Ford Ranger. VIN 1FTCR14U8RPA34228, (155,650 miles approximate) 2 wheel drive. Owned vehicle a little over 4 years, never had an issue,  good tires, newer spare, power windows, heat and AC. Still driving.1st part of October I hit a bad pothole and thought I blew a shock or strut. Took a few weeks to get it on a friends rack to see the actual problem. Spring hanger broke. In the meantime I was still driving it every day for work. You can see from the pics what happened. We ratcheted it back in place, still drove it for about a week out of necessity. Obviously not safe, but wouldn't bother me to go another 100 miles. There’s just too much good on it to send it to a scrap yard.
