Keep the link between your steering gear and steering linkage tight with the MOOG QuickSteer K8688 Pitman Arm. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-2002 Ford Crown Victoria, the 1995-2002 Lincoln Town Car and the 1995-2002 Mercury Grand Marquis, and it is designed for OE fit and function. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.

QuickSteer™ chassis parts are designed and tested to help return steering and handling to their original performance. MOOG keeps adding design improvements that extend product life and make installation and replacement simpler, and that work earned it a name as the chassis industry's Problem Solver.

  • Heavy-duty steel build: Engineered steel composition makes for a stronger component, and heavy-duty gauge steel construction adds strength and durability.
  • Patented cover plate: MOOG's exclusive cover plate helps keep contaminants from leaking into the bearing surface. It also allows tighter tolerances than traditional designs for a more durable part.
  • Gusher bearing: A powdered metal gusher bearing design lets grease flow through the bearing to the stud, which reduces friction and adds strength.
  • Corrosion protection: Coated for corrosion resistance.

A steering pitman arm passes the steering gear's motion to the linkage that turns the wheels. Loose or worn chassis parts can lead to premature tire wear, and replacing a worn arm helps restore vehicle handling. Signs this part may need replacing include loose or wandering steering, extra play at the steering wheel, and uneven tire wear.
