Hey,
Just put the steering arms on and also pitman arm. getting more turns one way than the other from centre, lock to lock seems ok.
Is this just a case of moving the pitman arm over a spline or two?

Should be all you have to do.

There may be a line underneath the pitman arm to line up with a line on the end of the shaft. My factory pitman has a line my dropped pitman doesn't

Get a wheel alighment champ ..
Your draglink should be adjustable
(pitman arms usually dont come off all that easily)

thats the highsteer arm. this is pitman arm
thw box came with pitman arm off. i centred what i thought to be the diffs and box then connected it. it turns lock to lock ok but more one than the other.
I will have a look at moving it for now and then get alignment once on the road.

You'll need to re set the steering box. Work out the centre for the pitman arm, have your wheel straight as posible, then fit the steering box back up and you'll have the same steering on both sides...
