Ptiman Arm Nut
I just installed my new power steering gear box. I have tightened down the nut about as far as I can go without fear out stripping it. Does it look like its far enough up?
Thanks

Re: Ptiman Arm Nut
your not going to strip that nut by hand. i always use an impact gun to make sure the pitman arm seats down all the way. that looks ok though

Re: Ptiman Arm Nut
Thanks cable guy. I declared war on it and broke out the torque wrench. I got almost another 1/2 turn out of it.

Re: Ptiman Arm Nut
torque spec on that nut is 180 ft lbs. Not going to strip that by hand. But it does look like it is installed as far as normal.
