Help bring back steady, responsive steering on your truck, van or SUV with the MOOG pitman arm, part number K6536. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1999-2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and 1999-2006 GMC Sierra 1500.
The pitman arm connects the steering gear's output shaft to the steering linkage. It converts the gear's rotation into the side-to-side motion that turns the wheels. These chassis parts are designed and tested to help return steering and handling to their original performance. MOOG keeps adding design enhancements aimed at longer product life and simpler installation.
- Designed for OE fit and function: built to install like the original on the listed applications.
- Heavy-duty steel construction: made with heavy-duty gauge steel for strength and durability. MOOG says its engineered steel composition results in a stronger component.
- Corrosion protection: coated for corrosion resistance.
- Handling support: replacing a worn arm helps restore vehicle handling.
Signs this part may need replacing include looseness or play in the steering, wandering on the road, and uneven tire wear. Loose or worn chassis parts can lead to premature tire wear. Other steering and suspension components can cause similar symptoms, so inspect the full linkage before you replace anything.
