This 1967-1972 Chevrolet / Pontiac Pitman Arm (36T spline) for power steering replaces the factory steering arm to restore precise steering geometry and safe road handling. Designed for direct-fit replacement on compatible classic Chevy and Pontiac full-size models and mid-size chassis from 1967 through 1972, it secures the steering linkage to the steering gearbox with a durable, high-strength finish. The arm reduces play and vibration, resists corrosion, and simplifies restoration projects by providing a reliable, easy-to-install solution that returns original steering feel and alignment.
Features:
- Fitment: Direct-fit for 1967-1972 Chevrolet and Pontiac models equipped with power steering and a 36-tooth (36T) spline steering gearbox.
- Material: Forged high-strength steel construction for long service life and resistance to bending under load.
- Function: Connects the steering gearbox pitman shaft to the center/drag link, translating gearbox rotation into lateral steering motion.
- Durability: Corrosion-resistant coating and robust design help prevent wear and maintain steering geometry over time.
- Ease of Use: Machined spline and standard taper enable straightforward installation with common hand tools.
- Restoration Ready: Ideal replacement for worn, bent, or corroded original pitman arms during chassis and steering system restorations.
Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 3/5
- Estimated time: 45-90 minutes
Instructions:
- Park vehicle on level ground, set parking brake, and block rear wheels.
- Raise the front of the vehicle with a floor jack and secure on jack stands; remove any splash shields if needed for access.
- Locate the pitman arm at the lower output shaft of the steering gearbox; apply penetrating oil to the splined shaft nut and tie-rod connections and allow to soak.
- Remove the nut and cotter pin (if present) from the pitman arm-to-center link/drag link connection and separate the joint using a tie-rod separator or pickle fork.
- Loosen and remove the nut that secures the pitman arm to the gearbox output shaft. Use a pitman arm puller to extract the pitman arm from the splined shaft; avoid prying on the gearbox housing.
- Clean the splines and inspect the gearbox output shaft for damage or excessive wear before installing the new arm.
- Position the replacement pitman arm on the gearbox splines, aligning the arm to the original installed orientation (count splines if necessary for proper alignment).
- Install and snug the pitman arm retaining nut, then torque to the vehicle manufacturer's specified value using a torque wrench.
- Reconnect the center/drag link to the pitman arm, install the nut and cotter pin (if equipped), and torque to spec.
- Lower the vehicle, perform a steering check for correct centering and free play, and have the vehicle aligned by a professional if steering alignment is affected.
