Sounds like they didn't have the steering box centered when they put the pitman arm on. It's on a spline like the steering wheel and can go on in a heap of different positions.

I guess the 1st year apprentice did it un-supervised :shock:

If you can get the pitman arm off the steering box with the wheels straight ahead you could centre it yourself

You would hope that is the case hay :lol:

If you took it somewhere to get done, take it back.

Take it back, or name the place on the forum so we all know not to go there.
I'm here for a good time, not a long time !
