ok so after looking under my WJ while it was on jackstands i think i have narrowed my vague steering down to the pitman arm being loose.

my question is, about how many threads should the arm show after the nut? mine was only being held on by like 3 threads..i'm not sure, but it seems like that's not much room for it accidentally loosening up before you lose all steering as you know it....when i get back home i'll have to pull off the FL tire and pipe wrench that shit because it doesnt want to move at ALL.


thanks,
Ryan

I had this happen too. Just torque it to 200+ ft/lbs and put a few drops of red locktite on there and you should be alright. I wondered about it too, but after getting mine tightened back up, there's still hardly any thread visible.
