I took these Pitman arms off a project car and I wanted to Install the MMR spherical bearings but have a issue with the passenger side arm bearing it looks oblong, can this part really stretch out like this? These arms are off a 2020 gt500. Has anyone installed this bearing kit?

I have fitted the steeda bearing in my GT with no problem. That arm on the GT is cast iron, your photos look like it's alloy is it. If so it's much softer, be careful pressing the old out and new in. Just take your time and make sure it's going in square.
Have fun with it.
It is well worth doing,I found it really improved the steering.

I'm almost wondering if someone jacked up the entire front end, maybe right on that end of the arm. Seems odd it would oblong like that, through any usage on the street (or even track).

I agree so I’m going back to stock with MMR spherical bearings.
