pitman arm to help steering systems on lifted vehicles.The arm helps correct the vehicle's important bump steer angle caused by an increase in suspension height. Not for use with stock steering stabilizer.
|
| Dropped pitman arms are necessary in many of our kits, to correct steering geometry after the installation of a suspension system. Fabtech manufacture their pitman arms to be stronger then stock units, using the latest forging and CNC machining technology. |
| The pitman arm transfers steering mechanism motion to the steering linkage The pitman arm is splined to the steering mechanisms output shaft (pitman arm shaft). A large nut and lock washer secure the pitman arm to the output shaft. The outer end of the pitman arm normally uses a ball-and-socket joint to connect to the center link |

| Use a tie-rod puller to separate the pitman arm from the steering linkage. You could remove the pitman arm from the splined sector shaft beneath steering box instead (using a pitman arm puller), but this may be easier to accomplish with the steering box removed from the vehicle and secured in a large vise. In either case, soaking the splines with penetrating oil several days ahead of time will greatly ease pitman arm removal. Once the pitman arm is removed, it will need to be reinstalled on the new steering box and torqued to factory specifications. Some steering box sector shafts have a "key spline" to ensure that the pitman arm can only be installed in the proper position. If your steering box does not have this feature, you'll have to count the number of input shaft turns from lock to lock, then rotate the sector shaft to the halfway point prior to attaching the pitman arm in the perfectly centered position. |
