Whether your old pitman arm is worn out or you or changing out your steering gear box, this 1950-1977 Steering Box Pitman Arm Shaft is a direct replacement that will restore smooth steering to your VW!
The most common reason for premature pitman arm wear comes from neglected maintenance when it comes to the tie rod ends. Keeping your tie rod end nuts regularly tightened will eventually begin to slop around and deform the mounting holes.
The pitman arm is a bolt-on component of your steering box output shaft that provides a place for the tie rod ends to mount to.
