  1. Well the pitman arm for the 33 got returned for a full refund. Unfortunately they spent a month trying to find the correct 683120 pitman arm with no luck.  Sooooo...... off to the machine shop i go!  Found a few guys that have experience with this kind of repair and want to have a look at the original to see what can be done about just replacing the ball end.

    The part number for the steering arm complete is, 683120....The part number for the arm is, 683112....The part number for the ball is, 651957

    Ok awesome that's great, i might have found a 683120 for sale NOS.  I'm just going to replace it if this place can find it in the the dusty corner of the building with the old plymouth parts, lol.

  3. This what i'm working with.  Part number on the arm is 683112, is it possible it swaps to the 683120 number?  From all my searching the car i have is a Plymouth with a Doge nose, Canadian D8.  With the limited amount of driving this car will see before I inevitably swap the front end to something more modern, would anyone advise on just running it as is.  I talked with uncle who was one of the last people to drive this car and he never felt like there was slop in the steering. He told he last night "that car was always nice to drive solid feel and great on the highway".

  4. I'm right in the middle of rebuilding my front end and i've noticed the "ball" on the end of the pitman arm isn't completely round.  The "ball" is flattened on the sides where the Drag link cups ride.  Is this normal or should this "Ball" be round?  I'll upload a picture tonight if needed.
