Idler & Pitman Arms

Idler and Pitman arms are critical components within the steering linkage of passenger cars and commercial vehicles, found within the Suspension & Steering > Steering systems. These robust arms facilitate the transfer of steering input from the steering gear to the steering knuckles, allowing for directional control of the vehicle. Idler arms typically support the steering box on vehicles with traditional steering systems, while Pitman arms connect directly to the steering gearbox to move the drag link. Constructed from durable materials like forged steel, these components must withstand significant loads and stress. Examples in this category include Idler arms for Mercedes-Benz Trucks, Pitman arms for MAN (MPN 81.41722-6090), and parts from brands like Febi (MPN 06161). Scania steering components (MPN 1856660) are also available.
