can somebody tell me how I know if my pitman arms are worn.what are the symptoms of worn arms thanks Paul

Rear tire wear and torque steer.
Torque steer will cause you to correct the steering when you let off then accelerate while going straight. This is indicative of rear axle toe +/- change under load.

The dust boots on the pitman arms usually fail first then replacement is needed for sure.
