The Pitman arm is a steering component in an automobile or truck.

The Pitman arm is a linkage attached to the steering gear (see recirculating ball) sector shaft, that converts the angular motion of the sector shaft into the linear motion needed to steer the wheels. The Pitman arm is supported by the sector shaft and supports the drag link or center link with a ball joint. It transmits the motion it receives from the steering box into the drag (or center) link, causing it to move left or right to turn the wheels in the appropriate direction. The idler arm is attached between the opposite side of the center link from the Pitman arm and the vehicle's frame to hold the center or drag link at the proper height. A worn ball joint can cause play in the steering, and may get worse over time.

Client Testimonial

After taking our 1998 vehicle in for an alignment we found out that we needed additional, expensive repairs. Not being prepaire to have them done, Lentz worked out a plan and price that enabled us to get the repairs done. They worked hard to get the repairs done quickly as we had prior commitments that day. I appreciated their willingness to work with me to see that we had a safe vehicle to drive on the road.
