I don't know if you recall my steering thread, but I was getting a popping noise that I traced back to the track bar. I went ahead and replaced everything including the pitman arm. I torqued it to 180 and then found out later that I ran out of threads on the steering box. I had to add a couple of washers to get the nut tight on the pitman arm. I found it doesn't take much movement of the pitman arm at all to make the steering feel funny.

X2 on the Track bar and pittman arm. might also check the ball joints just incase they are worn too.

Who needs them any way. :D I'm glad I came across this thread, it remind me that I need to work on my track bar. The bottom bolt keeps working its way out to a point, then stops. Probably because its been bent slightly. I've just gotten into the habit of checking and tightening it regularly.
