Proforged steering kit

Anybody ever use the profoged steering rebuild kit?
i got it, installed it and everything looks and fits great, except the pitman arm, there's a gab between the pitman arm and centerlink is that suppose to be normal? I was able to get the cotter pin in with no issues but the gap seems a little odd for me anybody ever experience this?


Top picture is with the oem pitman arm bottom picture is the one with the proforged one and they both sit the same

Looks like it's just missing the boot.

Just ordered this kit from summit. Can’t wait to add it to my 87 GTA to tighten up the front end steering!

you'll like it, everything looks solid and well built, it has a nice coat as well as you can see on the pictures, i recently replaced my sway bar as well with one from UMI with sway bar links and the wonder bar and that made a big improvement as well, just ordered the koni sports struts with the umi lowering springs as well hoping to have everything this weekend to thrown them in sunday

Re: Proforged steering kit

That’s what most reviews state so I’m assuming I will definitely like it. I have the Koni yellows along with eibach springs and I can tell you now those koni’s make a HUGE difference in ride feel. Best money spent on this car so far.

Re: Proforged steering kit

I have the proforged rebuild as well. Worked well for me. Koni yellows and ground control weight jacks, though I'm swapping over the the UMI kit soon as well.
