High quality Pitman arms
The Pitman arm — also known as the drop arm or steering drop arm — translates the rotary motion of the steering wheel into the linear motion needed to turn the wheels.
The Pitman arm is essential in ensuring proper and precise steering control in vehicles.
Pitman arm customisation
All Pitman arms are manufactured bespoke at our factory. Led by OEM requirements, we can customize the following features:
• Serrations
• Tapers
• Forging sizes
• Forging forms
• Profiles
• Finishes
Testing steering components
We provide thorough hardness checks and crack detection, using the latest scanning technology, to ensure our Pitman arms are fully capable of withstanding high stress and torque loads.
All our steering components are also tested to ensure longevity in the harshest under-chassis environments found in the commercial vehicle, bus and coach, and military vehicle sectors.
Steering drop arm
A drop arm is essentially another term for a Pitman arm. It serves the same function as the Pitman arm, connecting the steering box to the steering linkage and facilitating the transfer of steering wheel input to the wheels of a vehicle.
The term “drop arm” comes from the fact that, in many designs, this arm drops down from the steering box shaft to connect to the drag link or steering linkage.
