Pitman arm/steering shaft

I'm about to take the pitman off the steering gear and see about centering things up there. Does any one remember off hand if the two peices cn be put together in any rotation or is there a notch that lets them fit together only one way?

After a total front end rebuild and 3" lowering I'm chasing an odd pull to the left.

I am not sure about the notch. But in regards to the pull to the left, first and most simple thing. Swap the front tires right to left. See if the pull changes sides, tires new or old can create a pull.
