The pitman arm is an important component of the steering mechanism in vehicles with worm gear or recirculating ball steering systems. It connects the steering gear to the steering rod or linkage and transmits the rotary motion of the steering gear to the mechanical movement of the steering rods, which ultimately control the wheels.
The pitman arm is mounted directly on the output shaft of the steering gear and converts the rotational movement of the steering gear into a lateral movement. This movement is transmitted to the wheel suspension via other steering components such as tie rods and idler arms. This ensures that the driver's steering input is precisely transferred to the front wheels.
Pitman arms are typically made from high-strength forged steel to withstand high loads and continuous forces. They are designed to mesh precisely with the steering gear, creating a stable connection to the steering linkage.
Wear or damage can lead to play in the steering, imprecise steering, or unusual noises. A faulty pitman arm can impair vehicle control and should therefore be replaced promptly.
In this category, you'll find pitman arms for numerous vehicle makes and models, available in perfect original equipment manufacturer (OEM) quality or as high-quality aftermarket alternatives.
