The pitman arm links the steering gear's output shaft to the steering linkage. It turns the gearbox's rotation into the side-to-side motion that steers the wheels. MOOG designs and tests its QuickSteer chassis parts to help return steering and handling to their original performance. The brand keeps introducing design enhancements that extend product life and simplify installation and replacement, which has earned MOOG its reputation as the chassis industry's Problem Solver.
Loose or worn chassis parts can lead to premature tire wear. Signs this part may need replacing include excess play in the steering wheel, wandering on the road, and uneven tire wear. If a worn pitman arm is the cause, replacing it helps restore vehicle handling. Inspect the full steering linkage first, because other components can cause similar symptoms.
