UPDATE:
I just tried to remove the Pitman arm and I note that the splines that can be seen above the arm (about1/4 inch worth) ARE twisted.
However, looking up from underneath, the splines and groves are making tight contact with no signs of sheer, and how could it turn so much (140 deg) without more damage showig?
The Pitman arm is held tight and I could not knock it down off of the sector shaft easily. Did not try harder as I need use car this week.
So what is the fix? Can I get new shaft or does it require whole steering box?
Thanks, and sorry i did not see this before.
