I've been using an old piman arm I found laying around the shop for a few years. Well..the splines have finally gotten worn so I need a new one. The only problem is..I have no what it actually came off of and I don't have time to go to the junkyard yet. It is 6 inches long and has around a 2 inch drop. I would prefer one that is a little shorter (about 5 inches) and I don't need so much drop..even straight would work. Any ideas on what to get and where. It is a steer behind (GM passenger car) steering box. Tell me what you guys are using!! Thanks

Actually..I think the pitman arm is a mid-80's Ford Van..what are the odds of fiinding one of those:shaking:

The one in the middle is from a WJ, is right at 6" C to C and is pretty beefy. The end will have to be enlarged with a tapered reamer to fit, but it's very easy to do.

Just another option.

MrBlaine...what is the far right one?? It looks like it may be perfect.

I know there are plenty at the PnP..but I don't have time to drive all the way down there right now and just look around. I either need to find one that someone has and buy it or order one online. I waited way too late to get ready formy next trip, so junkyard diving is just out. Thanks, Shane

The one on the right is a stock TJ/YJ pitman. Little over 5" C to C. The TRE hole will have to be enlarged on it as well, but if you think it will work, I have about 10 of them laying around. Yours for the cost of shipping.

If you know the number on your pitman TRE, I can run the tapered reamer through it before I ship it as well, as long as it's a TRE that I have to check the size with.

Shane I got you 2 pitman arms and will bring them to work tomorrow. You will have to come get them though. I wont be able to do any running around...

One is from a stock TJ and the other is a Astro van arm, (the one you had been eye balling)...
