I have a 92 sub, that wandered down the road. I changed the Pittman arm twice on this vehicle along with a tie-rod arm too. I had it aligned, with new tires. I thought I had every thing done. But it has just started to wander again it shows the Pittman arm loose again what is knocking out the Pittman arm?

Pitman arms don't just get loose. They wear slowly over long periods of time. There has to be something else wrong there that they are overlooking. One thing I have seen before is you get a lot of wear in the steering box and then they think they can adjust it out. You cannot do that because all it serves to do is disguise it a little and make it drive worse. Everything just needs to be examined closer.
