Was it lifted before? Some guys put the stock suspension back on before they sell it. Maybe they forgot about the pitman arm

Not lifted, I'm sure of it because it was owned by some really old lady.

Pitman arms are a pain in the *** to take off. The PO probably didn't want to bother taking it off. Or maybe it's a present and now you dont have to buy one!
