Help tighten up sloppy steering with the Delphi Steering Pitman Arm TA6397, a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2006 Jeep TJ and 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler. The pitman arm bolts to the steering gear's sector shaft and links it to the steering linkage, converting the gearbox's rotation into the side-to-side motion that turns the wheels. A worn pitman arm or loose ball stud can show up as steering-wheel play, wander, or vague on-center feel — if the pitman arm is the cause, this 1997-2006 Jeep TJ pitman arm replaces it.
Delphi also includes the necessary accessories for a complete job. This 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler pitman arm installs as a direct-fit replacement on the listed applications; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment.
