Yes I took the drop pitman off and re-installed the stock pitman arm the steering wheel was off a little but I adjusted it and it drives totally different now. just a slight bump steer but really not noticeable at all , I drove around and hit a the bumps that usually makes me have low speed violent DW and NO GO ! ! hopefully it is fixed thanks for all the help on the geometry and engineering tech. Manoj and Jason was a life saver with the socket he let me borrow thanks guys

YES it is , I took the trackbar off on the drivers side and then used a air impact then found a good spot for the torque wrench to fit and got it torqued down, torquing the draglink to the stock pitman arm one is harder to torque than the drop pitman arm but I just tightened it up as much as I could with a wrench and then found a place where the torque wrench would barely fit and went two clicks at a time but it worked out FINALLY

That sucks
took the zert out for now, until i can figure out a solution and talk to david to see if there is any others with the same issue. I will run to NAPA tomorrow to see if they have a plug that will fit into the zert hole.
