There was something way back about some years of B/E kmembers or boxes that had a different tilt than OE. I dont remember the particulars but that sure seems like a severe rake on the adj sleeve angle tho I know pics can be misleading. Stay on it & holler how it goes. EDIT k.i.s.s. It would appear (just from the pic) that the pitman does not drop down far enough

Brian,
The pic of the idler arm side, looks good...the drivers side not so good!...I'm gonna say pitman arm, regardless of the fact you put the old arm back on, it may be off another vehicle/body line, and a lot of the aftermarket kits have issues with either the wrong idler or pitman, or both....so I measured the drop of the pitman arm in my 71 Cuda, it's 3 1/2" from the top flat of the spline end to the bottom flat of the arm (rod end) casting, I used a straight edge on the flats to measure so there would be no "eyeballin"....see what drop dem. you have?
Mike
