Dorman - OE Solutions Steering Pitman Arm P/N:PA7238RD
When a worn or bent pitman arm is behind loose, vague steering, the Dorman - OE Solutions Pitman Arm, part number 544-886, is a direct replacement that puts a solid link back between your steering gear and the steering linkage. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1995-2005 Chevrolet Blazer, 1992-2004 GMC Jimmy and 1982-2003 Chevrolet S10. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Dorman reverse-engineered this steering pitman arm from the stock part and precision-engineered it to the original arm's design and dimensions, so it serves as a direct replacement on the listed applications and provides a secure connection to the steering components.
Signs this part may need replacing include excess play in the steering wheel, wandering on the road, a clunk when turning, or an arm bent by an impact. Other steering parts can cause similar symptoms, so inspect the whole linkage before replacing it. Each listed application uses one arm. Country of origin: Turkey.
