[QUOTE="freddie, post: 1447751, member: 216"] So, my pitman arm nut was loose. I tightened it up at least 2 complete revolutions. I know that I torqued it to "forum specs" last year. I haven't driven it since tightening, a mechanic friend was picking it up to borrow it when we found that issue. He said that it is hugely improved since last time he drove it, but isn't perfect yet. He said that when going straight over bumps it gets a little bump steer, but when going around turns and bumps, there is no bump steer - maybe because the steering components are loaded? So he thinks I need a steering stabilizer. However, we also found that my intermediate steering shaft has a LOT of play. When you move the steering wheel back and forth, the slip joint has enough play that it pops side to side. I will get that replaced along with my steering column bearings before I worry further about replacing the steering gearbox. Billy, do you have a sway bar? I have been searching through your posts for info on that. I can't remember if you do. I guess I'm mixed about the prospect of a sway bar vs steering stabilizer since it seems there are clearance issues trying to run both - although I know I've read many times that the track bar bracket and sway bar can hit unless PMF has made Tom S's offset track bar bracket their standard design? I emailed Trevor this morning to ask.. I think especially once I run softer SD rear springs, my body roll will be excessive enough to justify sway bars. Maybe the bump steer will be tolerable after all of the steering components are replaced and tight. Is there anyone successfully running the PMF Track Bar bracket (3" drop), sway bar, AND a steering stabilizer? - Either PMF or Rancho stabilizer? What did it take to do? I swear I try not to be long winded. [/QUOTE]
