Pitman arm nut

[Duf79]

Does anyone know what size nut is on the steering box holding the pitman arm on?

What year truck?

[ZMANN]

I think it is crescent wrench size





LOL ya what year ?

[Duf79]

My bad it's a 05 F250!

[ZMANN]

Hmm

give me a few

My 06 is out front next to a set of metric sockets

Lol, its supposed to be tightened to 350-400 ft lbs, so Im guessing a crescent wrench aint doin $hit!. Should be 46mm. Kinda crosses over to a 1 13/16".

[ZMANN]

well chit I have a drop bracket that is keeping me from slapping a socket on it

and it's bigger that any of them anyways

let Me see if My OEM manual has it specked

[ZMANN]

Thanks Trev

I know the track bar was 400 ish but the pitman arm also ? wow

another issue is trashing the box when it's sitting against the stops and doing the torque

some kits come with a tightening fixture to avoid that issue

Ok next thing I have a 6" lift with 37's and I have the problem with the pitman arm coming lose and making the steering very sloppy. What to do to fix this problem?

[ZMANN]

thats not good the sector shaft taper may be fubared or the Arm itself

but also getting to the 350-400 lbs spec isn't easy so you might not be getting it
