My kit came with a new and must use pitman arm. I keep the original frame mounting holes. They just had to be enlarged. My question next is , I have and want to upgrade to the replacement tie rod ends and larger diameter steering bar. I wonder instead of grinding and pressing the old ball out of the old steering arms(pic) ,,,,,,howabout just replacing the steering arms? I took these pics. Everything is original till you get to the pitman arm. To avoid pictured diagram.
