<VV> Tight pitman arm bushing

[tkalp at cox.net]

I am assuming you are talking about the Nylon bushing.   Recent experience shows that there are different diameters on the bolt that goes in the pittman arm, by about .010 of an inch.  This doesn't make much difference going into rubber but makes the nylon bushing bind when it should be pivoting on the bolt.  I also found that installing the flange of the bushing between the centerlink and pittman arm worked best.

Hope this helps some.

> Hello, I installed Clarks nylon pitman arm bushing and now steering effort is way to high and steering does not return to center after turning. It appears that bushing may be to long and it is being compressed when tightening bolt.Anyone experience this before? I did replace sleeve as well. I had to press bolt into bushing.Please advise, Jim CuneoNorcal  1965 corsa
