Stop in for a cup of coffee
Well crawled under the Jeep, with the wheels straight the pitman arm is only clear of the frame an inch at best. And you can see where it has been hitting and rubbing.
I’m thinking there is no way that the pitman arm should ever go under the frame. I’m wondering if it’s not 90 degrees out at the box. I never took the arm off, but I’m betting I bumped it before installing the drag link.
