My guardian angel was looking out for me today. Started out like every other day. Went to the gas station to get a coke and a can of skoal on my way to work, but when I was backing out of my parking spot I heard a loud pop and then I had no steering. Pitman arm snapped in half. Thank God it happened in the in the parking lot.

Id say you did have someone looking over you. Sucks that it happened but good that it happens while slowly moving

Years ago I was given one of these:



It has been in every truck I've owned for about 6 years. So far, she is doing her job. Glad yours is looking over you as well.
