I'm getting ready to put the K frame back in the car, and was looking things over. The pitman arm pivot point, where the shaft goes into the center link moves very, very freely. I don't detect any side to side or up and down loose play, but considering how stiff all the tie rod ends and ball joints are, I was surprised at how easily this moved around.
Also, I've never thought about it before, but it seems that, like the idler arm, that shaft would only rotate in one dimension, along the axis of that shaft. Is that correct that it should rotate on both axis', like a tie rod end and not like the idler arm?
Am I due for a new pitman arm?
