Im going to be assembling the steering on my Dart shortly and want to make sure everything goes together correctly. Does anyone have photos of their pitman arms installed?
What year car? Large shaft steering box or small output shaft?
Biggest thing is center link has cone shaped holes that pitch and match the pitch of the angle on the pitman arm, tie rod or other. Just follow the angles.
Shop manuals. Download 'em free from MyMopar. The older 72/ earlier setup is different than the 73/ later
There are 4 pieces must go together
The pitman, the center link, and the idler must all either be 72/ earlier or all of them 73/ later, and the steering box must fit the pitman
73/ later, notice the studs point downwards

72/ earlier

These 4 parts are independent of the year of the car or the K member or the upper/ lower A arms or the tie rod ends
