I can just make a u-turn at my mail box, could before and after I installed them, no difference, that I could measure, but mine aren't po coated, that would shorten the radius at least the thickness of the coating X the difference between that and no coating. Perhaps as much as 1/8 inch in the with of the street?
My mailbox u-turn is also the same with both pitman arms , but the short one requires less turning and has a quicker road response at high speed(about 60mph).
