The deflection arm is an important component in the steering linkage of vehicles with mechanical or hydraulic steering systems, especially in systems with recirculating ball steering. It works together with the pitman arm and ensures that the movement generated by the steering gear is transmitted evenly to the tie rods.
The steering linkage is typically attached to the vehicle frame or body on the opposite side from the steering gear. Its function is to stabilize the steering linkage and allow the steering rods to move in parallel. This ensures precise steering of the front wheels.
Steering linkage arms are usually made of high-strength steel or forged metal components to withstand high mechanical loads during driving. Many designs incorporate robust bearings or bushings that compensate for movement and minimize play in the steering linkage.
With increasing mileage, bearings, bushings, or joints in the steering linkage can wear out. Typical symptoms include play in the steering, imprecise handling, unusual noises, or uneven tire wear. Timely replacement restores precise steering function and improves driving stability.
In this category, you'll find deflection arms for numerous vehicle makes and models, available in perfect original equipment manufacturer (OEM) quality or as high-quality aftermarket alternatives.
