I'm on a quest to get my steering play gone. Replaced almost everything in the steering. I know there is still some slop from the input shaft and the ball joint on the pitman arm. My Disco had just a regular tie rod here that just popped out I'm pretty sure. This truck has a removable ball joint. Either way it's getting worked on. Wondering if there is an advantage to using either one.

 

Just means you only need to buy a service kit instead of a new pitman arm, looked after they dont wear that quick anyway.
On my original with 337K KLMS on the clock.

 

Ok. Thanks for the input. Kit and little special tool are ordered.
