So what was the purpose of that 2 piece passenger side upper?
A fine adjustment called "caster split".
From 98~2003.5, torsion bar Rangers had a 2-piece upper control arm on the passenger side only. The extra caster split adjustment was eliminated in midyear 2003, so later TB Rangers use 1-piece right and left UCA's that are mirror images of each other.
The later 1-pc PS UCA can be used in place of earlier 2-pc UCA or just the ball joint carrier portion of the 2-pc can be replaced.
