If the steering arms go to the stops as original, the turn radius is the same as stock.
You will just have more turns lock to lock with the steering wheel with the short arm.

Some cars will still turn "from lock to lock", mine does and I love it. Some will not and will widen your turning radius.

From what I read here, I'll use the short Pitman arm, and if I don't like it I'll send it back and order a new longer one ....Thanks for all the help.
