: Heating / Bending Pitman arm???? Fullreversal 02-26-2002, 08:48 PM Ive got this ford pitman arm I found, I believe its from an F250/350 etc. Its pretty damn long and flat. I got to thinking.... hey maybe I could heat this up and make a drop pitman arm out of it... Good idea or will the heat do bad things??? :confused: kwrangln 02-26-2002, 08:53 PM Heat and bend bad. Dropped pitman arms are only like $50, come awn, dont go cheap on steering. YellowSub1962 02-26-2002, 10:19 PM BAD!! buy a drop arm - your life is worth more than the $75 bucks you'd be saving..... :usa: Jakesteramalamajama 02-27-2002, 04:37 AM The metal will get brittle and break like glass. Fullreversal 02-27-2002, 07:24 AM aiiight... got the picture... the reason i was asking is because i dont want to drill out the drop arm i have now for straight rod ends... i am also a po' ass college student... so ANY money saved is a goo thing :D but yah your life shouldnt be less than a pitman arm Ramsey Offroad 02-28-2002, 10:56 AM Dude, Pitman arms are typically a forged part, if it's heated & bent you're taking your life into your own hands twistedspline 02-28-2002, 11:01 AM I say go for it!!!!! Oh by the way if you roll and kill yourself can i have some of your parts;) | |
