The pitman arm is that short arm bolted to the steering box which is concted to the centerlink which has the inner tierods connect to it and the idlerarm on the passenger side of the car all of those parts are different between V8 and I6

Ahh I see it now.

Have you tried it on the other side

eZ

actually no i did not check the other side. that looks like your passenger side there. will the stock centerlink work. i have the inner tie rods and idlerarm. thanks for the help guys. ill check the other side when i get home tonight./

As long as its a v8 centerlink it will work. They don't wear out near as much as a the tie rods. That said.....I've worn my centerlink out happened at in inopertune time too.....drove 2 days dragging the car behind me in the trailer, unload it the night before race day, take it for a spin and find out my centerlink ball joint is all busted up.

unfortunatley everythng i have is i6, trying to convert everything. s there a kit i can order because when i look at steering kits all it is inner and outer tie rods

Nope, you just have to source a center link, (pitman arm and idler arm too I think). Last year you could still buy the center link new from napa, they had a part number on the books if you want to shop local....I would call NPD and order it though.

if i change the pitman arm i have to get a puller...does anyone know if the pitman arms are diff between an i6 and v8?

eZ

got home and the tie rods on my 65 are the same on both sides. they dont look like the one in dodgestang's picture

You can get the pitman arm puller from autozone as a rental tool I will send you a PM with the ecel sheet from when I did mine you don't have to change everything on the sheet just all the steering parts on there as long as you've gotten the V8 spindles.
