Steering

The steering is done. I had a hard time getting the old pitman arm off. I tried heat, a hammer, puller, ext. on Friday. I almost broke my puller. I ended up letting it sit over night with PB Blaster on it. Saturday morning I put the puller in it and it popped right off.I finished the car around noon on Saturday. I didn’t get the OMP done because the wind was crazy all weekend. It hit 70+ MPH and I decided to not do the OMP when the wind was making the car sway on the jack stands.
 
Inner and outer tie rods, idler arm, pitman arm, and tie rod end adjusting sleeves are all installed. These are all Moog brand parts.
 
I took the car to Goodyear to have it aligned. I’m going to have to take it back because it is pulling slightly to the left. Overall I’m very happy with the car. The steering is tight, the brakes are working great, and no more vibration or bearing noise.
