Front end steering rebuild kit?

I want to buy this kit, but the ad says that it fits a MANUAL steering truck only. is this a mistake? i dont think there is an f150 with nonpower steering in this year range.... my truck is a 1994 f150

i would pass. that price sounds too good to be true.
probably the cheapest junk they could find out of china.

those same parts from rock auto is around $250 for mid grade, even more for quality parts.

Me too, why would they include a pitman arm? That is not a wear item.

i think this kit is fine for the money. idk why it includes a pitman arm. ive heard of them going bad and making sloppy steering but i dont see how they could go bad. maybe the slot gets loose?
