Does anyone have an exploded view of the springs and cups on the steering arm of a 55? This is the part where the pitman arm ball stud goes in. Thanks, Ben
 
This drawing is for a '50 F1 but the ball stud arrangement is the same.

Dobie-the 55 car has somewhat the same but it has two springs, one on each side of the ball cups with the nail head looking pins (3326) in the springs. Don't know which way the nail head pins should be in the springs. That picture helps that. Thanks.
KULTULZ- I have that picture in my service manual but it doesn't show the internal springs and cups on the idler arm to pitman bar. With all the stuff you come up with, I felt sure you would have a view of it. From your nickname, did you use to be in Tulsa?
Thanks to both, Ben

That would be the drag link shown on the ILL as 3305.

This is manual steering, correct. There are (were) no service pieces. All of what you are describing (I think) came as an assembly.

Let me know if I am understanding you correctly or not.

From your nickname, did you use to be in Tulsa?

Thanks to both, Ben
No, I used to have a mobile tool truck and the business name was KULTULZ. I have been stuck in Yankee territory for many years... :(

!!! EDIT !!!-

HOLD ON. Came across something. Will be back.

What you are looking for is B2AZ 3A533-A. GOOGLE the PN and you will come across suppliers.

The ball stud (AB 3311-C) also comes in this kit.

The PN for the drag link itself is AD 3305-B if ever needed.

I think he's looking for the order of assembly. Referring to the F! drawing, that would be ball seat 3326, pin facing out, spring over pin, ball seat 3320, cupped side facing out, ball stud, the other ball seat, cupped side facing in, the other ball seat and spring, facing in, threaded plug. The square piece of felt goes on the ball stud shaft, followed by the shield. Attach the ball stud to the pitman arm, torque to spec, screw the plug in as tight as you can then back it off just enough to install the cotter pin. Bob's your uncle.
 
Order of assembly was what I wanted to clarify. Thanks to all. Got it back in place. When you get old, you don't finish some of these jobs in one sitting and it sometimes gets a little fuzzy. Now if I can just remember if the clutch is the left one or the middle one I should be good to go.

This is an exploded view of what was requested.

Where did you come across that ILL if I might ask?

And this info and assembly detail was not in the shop manual? Interesting.

I need to read a little more concisely... :o

Just get in, crank it up and go. Your feet will remember where to go.
