Features

Installation notes
The steering arm must be fully slid onto the splines of the sector shaft and secured with the lock nut. A two-arm puller is often required for removal. During fitting, disconnect the drag link and loosen the steering column mounting bolts to allow the steering box to align correctly.
Compatibility
Only suitable for steering boxes with 7/8" sector shaft. Not compatible with later trucks and wagons with 1" sector shaft (6-226 engine). Check the diameter of your sector shaft before ordering.
Historical context
The pitman arm forms the crucial connection between the steering box and the drag link system, a design that was applied from the earliest jeeps and remained unchanged for decades on civilian models with the L-134 engine.
