Pitman arm

The Pitman arm is a part used in automobiles, trucks, SUVs and other vehicles to steer the wheels.Steve Hendrickson; Gerry Burger, Hot Rodder's Bible : The Ultimate Guide to Building Your Dream Machine (Osceola, WI: MBI Publishing Co., 2000), p. 172 When the steering wheel is turned right or left the pitman transmits the motion it receives from the steering gearbox to the tie rod. A "drop pitman arm" is used to correct the steering when a vehicle has a suspension lift.Trenton McGee, 4x4 Suspension Handbook (North Branch, MN: CarTech, 2007), p. 142
