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.

Suzuki XL-7 V6-2.7L - Spark Plugs - Bellflower, California
Carlos showed up on time and performed the work as expected. He worked diligently and replaced both the serpentine belt and spark plugs in an about an hour. I have been worried about maintenance ever since Suzuki left the North American car market, but after Carlos showed up and did the work as requested to my satisfaction, and pointed out a few things that need to be done. I was pleased with this work he did on my car and plan to have him help me out with future maintenance needs.

Suzuki XL-7 V6-2.7L - Brake Pads Replacement (Front) - Bellflower, California
Rocco was selected to replace the brakes on my SUV. He offered to replace my brakes earlier than scheduled, which I wasn't able accept to do due to personal commitments and on the scheduled day he called and offered to pick up a pair of rotors, which I thought was a good idea just in case it turns out that I needed them. He arrived and told me that he wasn't able to pick them up, which was fine since my rotors were still good. He did a through job from testing the brakes beforehand, performed the installation, verified the installation afterwards, and noted extra issues I should be aware of regarding the condition of my car. He's a friendly, honest and professional mechanic Overall, I would have Rocco work on my car again. Thank you.
