I have a few questons about pitman arms and steering boxes i cant seem to find answers to.
First off is there any diffrence between a manual steering box output shaft (splines, or the diameter) and a power steering box in a early ranger?
Second, is there a diffrence in a 2wd and a 4wd factory pitman arm?
Third, i've seen some companys selling seprate droped pitman arms for a manual and power steering boxes, while other places just have one droped arm listed. Is this because of a diffrent size steering box shaft, or are they diffrent lengths for easier steering effort in the cab, and the places selling just the one type are assuming that its going on a power steering truck?
