Pitman arm
steering component in an automobile truck
The Pitman arm is a part used in automobiles, trucks, SUVs and other vehicles to steer the wheels.[1] 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.[2]
