pulling to the left

ok here goes guys and galls, i had a outer tie rod end replaced today on my 78 f-100 driverside..now it pulls to the left really hard....it doesnt jump back and forth, and i can hold it in the road with no problem, it just pulls to the right real bad, and i was wandering if i remove the pitman arm below there powerstreering box and let the steering box straten its self and reatach the pitman arm would i have to do anything elce to it or would that even work?

I would say, get an alignment 1st. Don't mess with the pitman arm at all. But let me ask you this. What did it do before you had the tie rod replaced?
