So I had a problem where my steering was really loose and my wheels would wonder. I found that my idler arm was shot, and I replaced my pitman arm while I was at it. After replacing the pitman arm, i installed the idler arm. One of the things I noticed is that I had to pull it up into the idler arm and use some strength. It was naturally pulling down.

I don't remember it being like this when I removed the thing. Is this normal?

My steering is tight again, a little harder to turn the wheel. Maybe it's just me. I haven't put tires back on yet.
