It does take a LOT of force, for a good one. The way you install it is
to point the car straight ahead BEFORE you tighten the nut.

Speaking of Pitman Arm bushings--how free should the pitman arm rotate
on the bushing in the center (drag) link. Jsut put a rebuilt steering
box in my convert and the steering seems to take a lot of force.

Just some food for thought. Personally, the stock setup works rather
well, the only caveat is that *&?^ %$#@ rubber bushing attaching the
relay rod to the Pitman arm. That needs to be a precision needle
bearing sealed setup, IMHO. The rest is plenty stiff enough.

John - Do you know if anyone has ever offered a sealed needle bearing
replacement for this bushing? I have never seen one. Maybe something
out of a
idler arm assembly?
