Nope. The problem is that the pitman arm was designed and built
entirely
wrong.
There is no permanent fix, and you can't "adjust it out". They
fail after
a very
short life. They ALL have the problem.
Oh Bubba.... they can indeed be fixed! Don't be so negative all the
time.

The only "fix" is to cut off the entire front suspension along with
the steering gear, and graft on a completely different one. That can
hardly be called a "fix" on a vehicle that is worth a couple hundred
dollars at most.

What a dope.. New outer and inner tie rods, king pins and bushing kits
will fix 99% of all steerings slack. If you need it can can re-build
the steering gearbox.

. Seeing how my 1961
only has 53K original miles and the steering is perfect.. I have
nothing to worry about.
Stick to something ya know about bob, like changing dirty diapers.
