I replaced the following:

Upper Control Arms (grease fittings)
Lower Ball Joints (grease fittings)
Pitman Arm (NO grease fittings)
Idler Arm (NO grease fittings)
**had front end alignment done right after job.

When I drove my truck away from the tire shop that did the alignment, I notice that things felt different with the steering. It felt tight, if i turned the steering wheel to the left, the steering wheel stayed left. Ditto to the right. The steering wheel did not pop back to center. Also, a slight pull to the left is almost a constant. The alignment report showed everything within normal range.

So my question is, could it be that the pitman arm is too tight and I also did not grease the pitman arm as it did not have a grease fitting? Or could it be the idler too tight and needing grease? Or other?

Thanks,

I replaced a idler arm on a 75 stingray once with a heavy dudy one and had the same issues swaped it out for a different one and that solved the problem was just to tight

 

It's for Gear Box, And the pull is form your tire rotate your tires in the front left to right and see if it goes away or if it pulls to the right.
