loose pitman arm
the pitman arm on my 36 is very slightly loose on the splines, i removed nut and put another washer to tighten up on the taper as i thought nut was bottoming on thread end,no difference, although the arm is loose it would not pull off splines by hand, going to take off tonight any thing obvious to look for? thanks.

Re: loose pitman arm
If it is really loose on the splines it should fall off. It may be that you are mistaking a looseness in the box itself for looseness in the splines. It may be that the box itself needs adjusting.
I've seen your car about at the shows, and I think I may have spoken to you once. It's a nice car. Mart. |

Re: loose pitman arm
When I first put my coupe on the road I had the same issue. In the end made a thick washer with an upwards facing taper. My pitman arm was going on too far & the lower end of the sector shaft splines were protruding past the lower face of the pitman arm. The nut was tight, but the original washer was stopping a few thou short of clamping the arm tightly. Once I'd fitted the new washer, virtually all the free play in the steering disappeared.
