The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Re-thinking shortened pitman arm

Last winter I rebuilt and/or replaced all the steering components in our 1928 Tudor except for the draglink and king pins which were in very good shape. At the same time I fitted a short pitman arm and a steering damper. It took several months for the stiffness to settle out, now it steers as easily as my MGB. Just not as precisely which is not surprising considering the archaic steering geometry on the Tudor.
