Reconnect your steering gear to the linkage with the Dorman - OE Solutions Pitman Arm 541-389, a precision-engineered and rigorously tested replacement for the original part on the listed applications. It is listed for many models from Chevrolet and GMC, among them the 1987-1991 Chevrolet Suburban, 1975-1999 Chevrolet P30 and 1979-1999 GMC P3500. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

This steering pitman arm turns the rotation of the steering gear's output shaft into the movement of the center link, which drives the linkage that steers the wheels. If a worn pitman arm is behind loose steering or alignment problems, replacing it helps give the steering components a secure connection again.

  • Direct replacement: reverse-engineered to copy the original arm's design and dimensions, so it installs as a direct fit on the listed applications.
  • Durable construction: steel with a black, coated finish, manufactured to strict standards.
  • Key specs: a 36-spline end for a 28.28 mm steering shaft, and a tapered center link end with a 0.625 in attachment diameter and 18 mm pitch. Length is 131.5 mm.
  • Hardware included: comes with a castle nut, a cotter pin and a Zerk grease fitting.
  • Rigorously tested: checked through thorough quality control measures.

Signs a pitman arm may need replacing include excess play in the steering wheel, wandering, clunking when turning and uneven tire wear. Other steering parts can cause the same signs, so diagnose the cause before you replace it. Country of origin: China.
