Split wishbone, pitman inference
Split my bones and installed drop axle, running a stock steering box, how do I cure pitman arm interference? I’ve got a standard and shortened arm, both are bad. Can I bend it outboard to clear the bone? Any advice not involving a diff steering box? Thnx

I'm not a Model A guy, buy there are Pitman arms with the ball on the inside, toward the center of the car. That'll get the drag link away from that wishbone. In fact, is it possible to turn your Pitman arm around, if it is sitting on a SQUARE shaft? Coop . |

Maybe if you turned the pitman arm around like it originally was it would clear.

Re: Split wishbone, pitman inference
Why not mount the radius rod inboard of the frame mount? Or place the mount inboard on the frame.
These set ups don't do a real good job of replacing the wishbone. Last edited by rotorwrench; 03-05-2023 at 05:56 PM. |

Re: Split wishbone, pitman inference
YUP turn it around and you may want to bend the steering arm down a bit.
