What is the Pitman Arm all about?

Not the sexiest of all automotive parts, the Pitman Arm, named after railroad engineer George Pitman, is tasked with steering your car. The Pitman takes the circular motion generated by the sector shaft and converts it so that it can be used to turn the wheels. The Pitman arm, supported by the sector arm, is attached directly to the steering gearbox.

Keep in mind:

The Pitman Arm is robust. With proper maintenance, it will last the entire lifetime of your car.

How it's done:

The vehicle is raised, secured on jack stands and the front tire removed
The defective pitman arm is removed
The new pitman arm is installed with a new nut
The tire is installed and the vehicle is lowered off of the jack stands
The vehicle is road tested for proper steering operation

Our recommendation:

The Pitman Arm needs regular maintenance. If it receives that maintenance, it will easily last the life of your car. However, if you fail to give it regular maintenance, you will find that between 30,000 and 50,000 miles, your car's steering will falter. To prevent this, vehicle owners should have their Pitman Arm inspected regularly. A six-month inspection of the steering gear is more than adequate for most driving. However, if you drive in rough, rocky, off-road or other harsh conditions, the Pitman Arm will deteriorate quickly. It is wise to have it inspected, and replaced, if need be, on a three-month basis if this is the case. This may seem drastic, but remember that if your car's front wheels are taking a pounding, the Pitman Arm, as it sits on the steering gearbox, does too.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Pitman Arm?

Excessive play in the steering
Irregular or slipping steering
Inexact steering or wandering

How important is this service?

If you fail to follow the service recommendations in your owner's manual, you run the very real risk of losing steering control due to Pitman Arm failure. When the Pitman Arm fails, there is no longer a connection between the sector shaft and the wheels. When that direct connection is lost, you lose the ability to steer, which can result in dangerous consequences.

Dodge Charger V6-3.5L - Battery - Torrance, California

I recommend Rocco and this is why, My car would not start this afternoon around 1:30PM, and I realized I would have find auto shop, hire a tow truck and probably not be on the road until the next day. But I found Your Mechanic on Google and booked an appointment. Rocco called me within five minutes of booking the appointment. Rocco asked me a couple questions about what was happening with the car to help him prepare parts. Rocco spoke clearly and professionally. Rocco came to my house, evaluated the car and Completed the fixes by 4:15PM. The price was very responsible. Rocco did not try to upsell me with more than I needed. Based on my excellent experience, I Scheduled a future appointment with Rocco for some regular car maintenance. I highly recommend that anyone book Rocco if they need help with their car. Rocco and Your Mechanic saved me the cost, time and hassle of the tow and with dealing a shop and got me back on the road!

This was a great service! It was a holiday weekend and I received a text back on Saturday morning to confirm a Sunday afternoon appointment!!! Tyrone arrived early and diagnosed my issue in minutes. He was thorough, professional and my problem was solved quickly. I will use Tyrone's services for all my car concerns. I even received a Saturday evening call back confirming the part that was ordered and my next appointment date and time.
