Since DUTCH was nice enough to share the Workbook method of Pitman Arm Adjustment, to help me with my sloppy steering, I thought I would share a photo layout of my rendition of the repair. As a novice mechanic, it is geared more for the lower end ability person interested in trying it themselves (at their own risk of course). It was a very easy job, done in under an hour. This is just a tiny way of me being able to "Give Something Back" to those I have solicited help from in the past. I am always up for comments/suggestions. This is my first attempt at any kind of image uploading, so be gentle!!

They are a lot of people in US who wear the Rolex, not to many who use Hazet tools. P.S. Patrick!, check your steering box seal, it may start leaking after adjustment. | ||

Yes, there was a bit of leakage from the steering box during adjustment, but it hasn't leaked a drop since! Thanx for the concern! | ||
