Steering help for 98 2500 HD (can't remember which way parts go)

See the diagram and question that go with each, my damned CRS I can't remember how I took it apart





1. Pitman arm, does it nut sit on top of the pitman arm facing the engine, or on the bottom facing the ground

2. Draglink to crossover connection, nut on the rear or the front

3. Steering knuckles, nut on top or bottem.

Insight would be appreciated

The pitman arm goes onto the steering gear shaft then the washer, then the nut.[nut toward the ground] The drag link attaches to the tie rod by pushing it through from the rear & the nut goes on the front side toward the front of the truck. Make sure to torque the nuts to spec & install a cotter pin. Make sure that you tighten down the clamps on the center of the drag link, where the 2 bars go together.

Because of the taper on all of the joints, there is only one way they will go together.
