This morning I am preparing the car for the trip to the 2012 Michigan Jamboree. I removed the drag link to lube the ends. Seems that they pick up a lot of dirt through a year. Looking at the pitman arm,
The ball is fairly round and measures about 0.985" on a couple of axis. But.... looks like the drag link end has been wearing into the arm. There is still a lot of meat here, but never noticed this wear. Suppose that I'll look for a better one.
