 Posted: Thu Mar 26, 2009 19:31 Post subject: pitman arm recall x 2 |
 |
|
we took mine and a mates paj's for pitman arm recall today, all went well till I got in my mates to start the drive home and noticed the steering wheel was about a quarter turn out while traveling in a straight line. So did a U-turn and went back to the mits dealer. The plonk on the service desk tryed to tell me that it must have been like that when it came in or the tracking must be out  . After I told him he was talking total rubish (to put it politely)he said oh ok I will have it looked at.
15 minutes later it was all sorted..
seems strange that they did 2 pitman arms at the same time and did one correct and one not.. oh well got there in the end, best of all it was FREE |

Well the dealer was actually right in what they did
Seriously they don't even get paid for the work done as its a recall .and they are not obliged to alter the steering wheel back to the correct posistion ..I didn't know this  until I talked with Ivor Green and waynec |

| When changing Pitmans, you line up the line on the arm with the one on the box, if a Pitman has been changed B4 and put in wrong place - then it will be out when put right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

From what I remember they snapped .......which would make cornering or even a straight line driving ..........a tad difficult  |
