i was under the '58 power giant the other day and noticed that where the pitman arm meets the drag link the threaded post had nearly rubbed a notch through my axle housing! what would cause this?? the pitman arm is straight, but angled downward toward the housing. its obviously been like this since WELL before i got the truck. the pitman arm is in(i just bought the front axle assy. from a '58 W200 same as my truck) excellent shape and i have the housing off the truck it was on, its not worn at all, no rub marks that i can see. would it be worn knuckle bearings and bushings?? and where the !$@!# do you get the bronze bushings that go on top?? i have a bunch of them, but don't have a new one to compare how good of shape they're in. i already have the lower bearings and upper and lower races, but NAPA has no idea where to get the bushings. any thoughts?? Jason
