I have a 59 62 series sedan and I was wondering how I can tell if I have a bad pitman arm such as identifying number or other ways of I.D. to determine if mine could be defective. Looking at the pitman arm it appears normal when visually looking it over. Do you have any ideas that might help me determine if my pitman should be replaced?
