Long story but I recently re-acquired my 1987 Turbo T out of where it was being stored and am wanting to get it fixed up. The steering on it is very loose and I have a mechanic looking at it right now. He says I need a new pitman arm to tighten the steering up and align the wheels. I'm having great difficulty locating one though.
From reading another thread here I found on Google though it sounds like that might not be the root cause but that it's a pretty common problem on the cars. Is the mechanic just not knowledgeable about the car and making a faulty assumption? The steering is loose but workable for now should I hold off and investigate it some more before I go swapping parts that don't need to be swapped? Also are there any good mechanics in South Florida that you folks can recommend to do the work?
Thanks in advance!
