Heat and bend pitman arm?
This car is full of contradictions. Here is a photo with the dimensions as close as I could get them.
The idler is approx. 5-1/2" center to center and 6-3/16" as the crow flies.
The steering box looks fine. The shaft goes straight and true to the column and there is no binding when steering. So, while it may not be perfect, there is no way it or its mounting is causing this.
The centerlink has a 1-3/4" drop in the center which makes it a V8 link if my sources are correct.
If Kendog 170 is showing a photo of a correct pitman, I am thinking mine is bent at the bottom. Like maybe someone tried to jack it up by the pitman arm?
