Talking about an "s" shaped bend here, not just bending the end down. The bend would start right next to where it bolts to the steering box.
JSeery, you may be correct in your fix. But looking under the car the way I see it no matter how far down you bend pitman arm, the "arm" portion of the pitman will ultimately hit the wishbone as I continue to turn right another 3/4 turn of the steering wheel.
