See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

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.

  • Heavy-duty steel build: Engineered steel composition and heavy-duty gauge steel construction give a stronger, more durable component.
  • Patented cover plate: MOOG's exclusive cover plate helps keep contaminants away from the bearing surface. It allows tighter tolerances than traditional designs for a more durable part.
  • Powdered metal gusher bearing: Lets grease flow through the bearing to the stud for reduced friction and enhanced strength.
  • Coated and OE-matched: Coated for corrosion resistance and designed for OE fit and function.

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.
