Why dosen't the tre fit into the pitman arm?
its just sitting on top i didnt want to seat it yet

There is a possibility of tierod to pitman arm contact upon full compression of the driver front tire, espescially after the springs get broke in, or if the springs go negative. You can eliminate any possibility of contact by lifting the box and tilting it counter clockwise some.
One more question ...Are your u bolts tight on the driver side? They appear to be short or not fully tightened.
There is quite a bit of distance (maybe 4 inches) between the pitman and tierod. I can't see them ever hitting. Plus the axle will move back anyways right? I used a piece of string to simulate where the spring would be if it went completely flat (negative will be impossible due to bumpstops) to make sure the sector shaft and pitman were up high enough.


The u-bolts are not tightened down either

RIP KYOTA
