Re: Steering arm curls...
It does flex a bit but most of the movement appears to be in the worn end of the drag link.
Who ever was turning the wheel was also pushing against the stops pretty hard but driving down the road the flexing may actually dampen the jolts from the tire to the steering wheel.
I've never seen a broken AD or TF steering arm in 48 years of owning these trucks and looking at a lot of them in wrecking yards hunting for parts. I know from my own experience that the axles will bend back to the frame rail and not break.
