Pitman arm hitting header
« on: May 07, 2017 - 05:27:42 PM »
Hey guys/gals I now have the challenger running great so driving it a bit and noticed it doesn't turn left very well, I put on the lift and found the pitman arm hits the header when turning left, anyone experience this?

Same thing happened to me.  I took a piece of rolled rod, ground the end smooth, and then beat it on the header with a 3 lb hammer to make clearance.  I only had to push it in a quarter inch.  Mine was only touching at the Zerk.  I could have taken it off too.
