Q: What is a steering pitman arm?

A pitman arm connects the output shaft of the steering gearbox to the center link or drag link. It converts the rotational motion of the steering box into the linear motion that turns the wheels.

Q: What problems does a worn steering pitman arm cause?

A worn pitman arm causes excessive steering play, delayed steering response, clunking when turning, and can contribute to front-end wander at highway speed.

Q: Are there other names for a steering pitman arm?

You may see this part listed under different steering terms.

• Steering arm
• Drop arm
• Sector shaft arm
• Steering gear arm
• Pitman shaft arm

Names vary by manufacturer.

Q: Do I need a special tool to remove the steering pitman arm?

Yes. A pitman arm puller is strongly recommended. Hammering on a pitman arm can damage the steering gear output shaft. The puller safely presses the arm off the splined shaft.

Q: Any install tips or cautions?

Note the orientation of the arm relative to the steering gear before removal. Torque the center nut to specification. Always use a new cotter pin if equipped. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
