I removed a dropped pitman arm to install a factory one on my 99 TJ with 2 1/2" Teraflex lift to try to fix high speed wandering in the steering. After I finally got the nut off (not easy), the pitman arm fell off without using a puller. It will slide completly all the way up and down the spline by hand, The new stock part will only go on part of the way up the spline even when torquing the nut to 185 lbs. It doesn't look right, Is that normal? the nut goes just past flush on the stud,

Look carefully at the splines on the arm you removed and the steering box. If you can torque the nut properly I don't think it will be an issue but I would also like to see a pic of the new arm installed
Why you got a dropped pitman arm??? Don't you know they are the debil!!!!!!!!
First google search image I found that showed proper thread engagement lol I wasn’t even looking at the angle of the drop but good catch
