It has been said that a shortened pitman arm will increase the turning circle . In other words the car would require a larger area to turn around in a circle . This hasn't been a problem for us . Some have had more problems with the 28-29 models . The problem in sush cases has been that the shortened pitman arm couldn't pull the spindle back quite far enough to reach its stop . This in turn increases the turning circle .
