Hey there, so I got my truck aligned and got new tires put on and the guy at the counter said that the technician noted that the steering box was loose and the pitman arm needed to be replaced.
I'm fairly certain I replaced my pitman arm about a year ago... I'll have to go through some paperwork... but my question is can this accelerate tire wear? I'm okay with driving around with loose steering for a while until I get the money together to make the repairs. I just dropped $850 into it this week so I'm not feeling like dropping another $550 into replacing those two parts at the shop.
I've never replaced these components before. Is the steering box and pitman arm a difficult job to do in the driveway? I've seen people on here mention replacing the rag joint, as that man make a big difference.
