Skyjacker Pitman Arm
If the linear motion, the back and forth movement, of the pistons is converted into circular motion by the crankshaft, the circular motion of the steering wheel is converted into linear motion by the pitman arm. The pitman arm is the mechanical component that is connected to the lower end of the steering box and to the tie rod. Its side to side movement is responsible for the steering of the front wheels. Although the pitman arm does not multiply the steering force, it is the mechanical linkage that translates the circular motion of the steering wheel into linear motion to steer the front wheels. Skyjacker pitman arm is an aftermarket product that can be purchased to replace the original pitman arm in a raised vehicle. It helps to eliminate the bump steer that may result from the changes in steering and suspension alignments. Typically, the alignments and angles of the different automotive components such as transmission, suspension, and steering are drastically changed when the height of a vehicle is lifted. Improperly aligned steering and suspension has serious consequence in the handling quality and ride comfort of a vehicle. Because of this, a raised vehicle is more difficult to control. Steering it is difficult because some vibrations from the road are directed to the steering system instead of being absorbed by the suspension system. This creates mechanical stress that can damage the steering system and render it ineffective. To counteract this, the original pitman arm should be replaced with a more customized pitman arm. Controlling your vehicle is more important than high torque or speed. The pitman arm is one of the components that enable you to have direct and effective control over your vehicle.
