Default Re: Tie rod and drag link rubbing

Think carefully before you install a shortened pitman arm. My brother in law has just bought his first A and the previous owner installed one. I drove it home for him and what a trial that was! There was about 1/2 a turn free play in the steering wheel and the feel was awful. We went back to the original and the free play was reduced to about 2" and the drive was quite good. I wouldn't have expected such a difference in the freeplay but that is what it was.
I had toyed with the idea but after that experience, I won't do it.
