We want to help you avoid that entire mess, so follow along as we walk you through a few simple steps to locate and correctly identify the Pitman arm on your vehicle.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-5\">\n<h5 class=\"title\">Contents<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#Locating\">Locating Your Pitman Arm<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Identifying\">Counting Pitman Splines<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Tool\">Pitman Arm Puller and Other Tips<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Moog\">Moog&#8217;s Advanced Technology<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Pitman\">Different Arms for Different Vehicles<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Help\">Suspension.com is Here to Help!<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\" id=\"Locating\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<h2 class=\"title\">Locating the Pitman Arm on Your Vehicle<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n<p>Locating the Pitman arm on any vehicle begins with the steering wheel and then following the steering shaft until it terminates at the steering box, most often mounted to the frame and best viewed from under the hood. Connected to the steering box output shaft is the Pitman arm, where it acts as the bridge between your steering inputs and the center steering link. With the Pitman arm located we can move on to counting the splines of the steering box output shaft and Pitman arm connection. However, full access may require removing underbody splash guards or undertrays.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.suspension.com\/images\/Pitman-arm-blog\/Pitman-arm-diagram-location.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"Pitman arm diagram\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row mt-4\" id=\"Identifying\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<h2 class=\"title\">Steps to Identify the Pitman Arm Splines<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<p><strong>Following these two simple methods will positively identify your Pitman arm in the least obtrusive way that won&#8217;t require complete disassembly of your vehicle&#8217;s steering.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.suspension.com\/images\/Pitman-arm-blog\/method-one-method-two-compare.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid pt-3 rounded\" alt=\"method one and method two pitman arm spline examples\"\/><\/p>\n<h4>Method One: Easy Method<\/h4>\n<p>Inspect the junction between the Pitman arm and steering box for splines by removing any road grime or protective dust boots. A stiff bristled brush works best on the grime while gentle use of a flat bladed screwdriver prevents tearing a dust boot. Counting splines in this gap is worth attempting but is an inconsistent solution due to the manufacturing tolerances of the tapered spline joint slightly altering the Pitman arm position.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.suspension.com\/images\/Pitman Arm Blog\/3-and-4-groove-pitman-arms-side-by-side.jpg\" class=\"img-fluid pt-3\" alt=\"3 and 4 groove pitman arms side by side\"\/><\/p>\n<h4>Method Two: Intermediate Method<\/h4>\n<p>If this is unsuccessful, the next step is to remove the nut securing the Pitman arm to the steering box. Once removed you should be able to count the splines of the steering box output without completely removing the Pitman arm. Making witness marks can be helpful for more accurate counting of the splines.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\" id=\"Tool\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<h2 class=\"title\">Tips for Checking the Pitman Arm<\/h2>\n<p>We&rsquo;ve all had a 2 hour repair stretch into a second day and generally make a mess of things.

Yes, due to the extremely tight interference fit of the tapered spline connection a Pitman arm puller is essential.

Moog&#8217;s Gusher Bearing allows continual grease flow by permeating the sintered bearing with grease to reduce friction, flush out contaminants, and extend the life of the part.
