Hi guys I installed a new pitman arm and Teflon rebuild kit . new rubber greese seal and metal retainer . problem is now when I turn the wheel a space shows up on the rear side of the drag link. its maybe 1/8th in. greese is sure to leak out , how is this fixed? I used new Teflon cups etc. Brattons has a diagram showing the correct sequence for installation of the parts, which I followed,however Les Andrews book diagram shows it different. any suggestions as to what I could have done wrong? thanks THE HOOCH
