Looking for Stock Manual Pitman Arm

Postby landshark » Mon Nov 06, 2017 8:33 pm

Looking to compare the pitman arm I have with a Bronco Stock manual arm. Please let me know if someone has one I can borrow or buy, thanks.

Phil was nice enough to find a Astro Van pitman arm and will test it out! Thanks.

Chris, what has you looking for shorter pitman arm ?

I think I may have the same issue.

Two things. First is the drag link DOM slightly hits the tie rod DOM at certain angles. Not bad but enough I think it’s putting stress on the rod ends and causing pre mature wear on the tre’s.

Second. Since I moved my track bar further out and down my angles are off. I either need to drop the track bar at the frame end or raise the pitman arm connection. I think this Astro van pitman arm could solve both. It’s perfectly flat so it will bring my drag up about 1” I think.

As a added bonus it might put slightly more turn in my steering. Right now my steering is very touchy because of the 4x4x2 box. It’s not bad but a little more compliance would be nice.

appreciate it. Ian going to see if I can make this Astro can arm work first. It will be a while before I can wrench on the bronco.
