Pitman arm

Dangeranger3 · Feb 15, 2008

Are the pitman arms the same, or at least interchangable, between 2wd and 4wd?

Sasquatch_Ryda · Feb 16, 2008

I believe that the 2wd pitman arm is a bit flatter and has less drop than the 4x4 pitman arm

x2. it is. there is no difference in steering box shaft either.

Manual or Power steering on the 2wd?

Jspafford · Feb 17, 2008

2WD is straight, 4WD has a drop.

Also, I belive Spline and shaft dia. between manual and power steering is different as well.

power steering on the 2wd. So the concesus is that they will interchange? I am looking at getting a used skyjacker drop pitman so my steer doesn't look like /\

should work, remember though, the 4wd will have a little more drop then a 2wd pitman normally would, so if you have a 4" lift pitman arm on the 4wd, it will be like a 6" on the 2wd I'd believe, as far as correcting steering geometry goes., steering will be ---

Thanks for the quick reply sprag

Isn't it cheaper just to get your truck aligned?

A drop Pitman arm is for correcting the linkage geometry, not the alignment.

Sprag-O · Feb 19, 2008

I'd guess he's got 2" pucks or something causing an alignment issue.

Then he's in real logical trouble, since the Pitman arm doesn't affect camber at all.

Ahh, ya, I though maybe he was talkign about his drag link being at a bad angle, didnt really think it through

its supposed to say steering but you get the idea. Though my camber is terrible :black_eye:

The drop pitman is, of course, to correc the steering linkage.

I meh not be makanic, but i lerk two much :derisive:
