2013 Dodge Challenger - Pitman Arm

Jeep Wrangler Pitman Arm

Your Jeep Wrangler's pitman arm is a steering component that connects the sector shaft to the steering gearbox to help the wheels turn, with help from the ball joints on the control arm. Pitman arms turn as the steering gearbox moves, transferring this motion through the steering linkage using tie rod ends to turn the wheels. With age, the pitman arm can wear out or develop cracks or looseness. Common signs of a worn out pitman arm include a very loose steering wheel, if the vehicle is wandering, or if the pitman arm should fail completely, you will lose the ability to steer and control your Jeep. Inspect the condition of the tie rod ends, pitman arm, and idler arm any time you are under your Wrangler, and repair any parts that seem to be especially worn or that are visibly damaged or loose. O'Reilly Auto Parts carries pitman arms, idler arms, tie rods, and more for your Jeep Wrangler, so you can make a full repair and drive with confidence.
