Re: pitman arm
When they first started to replace worn spindle and pitman arm balls, the procedure was to chop off the ball and plug weld a new ball on. The new process is to chuck up the arm in a milling machine and leave about a 5/8" round stub of original metal. Then they press a hollow ball onto the stub and TIG weld the end closed and finish it off. The second way is much stronger. I had all of the balls on my front end done that way.
