Pitman Arms
Pitman arms are a key component in the steering system, connecting the steering box to the steering linkage and converting rotational input into lateral movement. This movement allows the wheels to turn accurately in response to driver input. Advance Adapters offers durable pitman arms designed for Jeep and Toyota Land Cruiser applications, supporting both manual and power steering systems.

The pitman arm attaches directly to the steering box output shaft and transfers motion to the drag link, which then moves the steering knuckles. Choosing the correct pitman arm is essential for maintaining proper steering geometry, especially in lifted vehicles or custom builds.
Manual and power steering systems require different pitman arms due to variations in steering box design and output shaft specifications. Using the correct arm ensures proper fitment, smooth steering operation, and consistent control.
Pitman arms are especially important in steering upgrades and conversions, including builds that incorporate Jeep or Toyota Land Cruiser platforms. Proper installation helps maintain alignment, reduce steering play, and improve overall handling.
Whether you are replacing a worn component or upgrading your steering system, Advance Adapters provides pitman arms designed for strength, precision, and long term reliability.
