Turn the wheels back and forth by hand while pointing the drag link at the steering gear. From that point you'll be able to see how long the pitman arm needs to be.

OffRoadRolls - I'll give it try. Dr Cranks - I was thinking the same thing but thought there might be more to it. Sometimes I think I'm reinventing the wheel. Last edited: Jan 19, 2016
