good evening nerds,
I didn't think about this very much when I did it but I swapped the steering box on my 1984 2.0L 2WD last week, from manual to power steering (while adding power steering..) and I used the pitman arm that came with the donor ps steering box truck, slightly longer than the old manual box pitman arm.
when I steer all the way in either direction, I feel the truck bending to the side somewhat. Am I paranoid to think maybe I should put the shorter pitman arm on there? got tipped off by reading about how pitman arm for 2wd and 4wd are different parts, and I suspect the donor truck was 4wd..
otherwise obviously, pretty cool to have ps.
