    Lightly used pitman arm. I tried it on my Jeep for a short time but it didn't work for my application.
    Fits standard Saginaw box and Jeep drag link. 5" center to center, has a slight drop.
    $60 including shipping in the CONUS.

    I have one of those around here somewhere. I was thinking of trying it out to slow the steering down some. Why did it not
    work in your application? Thanks, John.

    I remember such a search. This type has four index splines, so just be aware.

    Yep. You can see the splines in the 1st picture but here's a close up.

    The splined bore on the 5" with 1ish drop arm is bigger than the shaft on my box, everything else is perfect. The spline count and keys matched but the actual bore is too big:cry:.
    Thank you Doug for the quick shipping and excellent packing but it's journey continues.


    $59 including shipping in the CONUS.

    What's the size of the bore? Need to look at mine but I need a arm with less drop

    I'll take the calipers to both sides of it as soon as I can. Doug's picture shows it at about 1.25"

    Measuring at the widest making sure to be 180 apart. The drop is close to .75"

    What? That's weird. All the Saginaw PS boxes i've seen have that spline. Yours must have the smaller spline like a manual box.
    If you want to send it back I'll give you your $ back, no biggie.

    Sounds good.
    Yeah mine's a manual, I didn't think about measuring the splines i just counted em and called it good because my calipers were in the other car that day.

    I wish I had known you have a manual, I had to get a new arm for mine when I switched to PS. Those are definitely different.

    I'll look at mine once I get home and see if it'll work. Unless someone else was in line for it

    Your it!
    I'll hold it here till you say otherwise. Then it'll go back to Doug.

    I'll take it. Thought mine had a drop, but my problem is it's too long(7") and it hits the tie rod from left to right. This one is shorter so will work perfect.
