Idler/Pitman Arm Installation
Do I install them while the truck is sitting on the ground or do I jack up the front?

Re: Idler/Pitman Arm Installation
I'd say jacked up because you have to whack the ends with a hammer and you have more clearance with it in the air.

Re: Idler/Pitman Arm Installation
Don't beat them out with a hammer...use the proper puller to remove them to avoid damaging parts. A pitman arm puller is about 7 bucks at harbor freight or any parts store.

Re: Idler/Pitman Arm Installation
yes.....pitman is different than idler. My junk likes to be whacked...your underside might be more detailed. Use common sense

Re: Idler/Pitman Arm Installation
I wrote it that way because I knew it would sound funny and make people say "WTF".
