The steering linkage consists of a steering gear pit-
man arm, a connecting rod, a tie rod, a steering damper,
and an integral steering arm and steering knuckle. Ball
ends and adjusting tubes are used on the tie rod and
connecting rod for toe-in adjustment and steering wheel
alignment (fig. 2M-1 and 2M-2).
The connecting rod is attached to the pitman arm at
one end and to the tie rod at the opposite end. The tie rod
ends are connected to the steering knuckle arms. The
steering damper is attached to the tie rod on one end and
to a bracket on the left spring tie plate at the opposite
end.
