Need a new Pitman Arm.

[pipeliner]

Need some help and advice on a new pitman arm for my 70 Charger.Been looking and researching and seem alot of people are getting arms that dont fit.Looked up the part# 20101 at Autozone and says this part doesnt work for my car.Just want to get the right one.Thanks.

Pitman arms are inexplicably hard to find. The only place I could find one for less than $100 was a Moog on Ebay from seller 2doorpost: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-MOOG-pitman-arm-70-72-E-body-62-70-B-made-USA-/200578921534?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2eb36f743e

I got mine for $85 back in January though.

Other than that some of the performance places like Firm Feel sell them.

$115 at steer and gear (as long as you have a core to return).

$165.Thats awful high plus your pitman arm.If they want your core they must be a ball joint replacement for the pitman arms also.They also want $450 for a powersteering GB plus a core,are you serious.I can get one from my local parts store for $135 with a lifetime warranty.

If you're referring to the Firm Feel box it's not a Tiajuana-rebuilt sloppy copy of the factory setup (or worse), which is what you'll most likely get from the parts store. You're getting a tighter/better box and you can choose the level of performance you want out of it. Yes, it is expensive but those who've gotten them do not regret it.

Cool...they told me they couldn't get one. That was a couple years ago

I dont doubt that they arent good boxes but when a place wants $110 for the same offset bushings you can get for $70 at the local parts store I wont buy nothing from them regardless how good it is.I know these places have to make money but Im not much on getting gouged either.Im getting a cardone refurbed right here in the USA.Ive bought their stuff in the past with good luck so and I can use the extra $300 that I would be saving.

Just to clarify, the price is not "plus the core" - the price assumes you do not have a core.  If you have a core, knock off the core deposit (e.g., 165-50=115 for arm, 450-175= 275 for the manual box, etc.).  Yeah, you can get the gearbox cheaper at the local store, but if you want your original then your options are limited.

I have a 68 Charger with a 73 power steering box.I had to use the 73 bigger pitman arm but kept the correct for 68 idler.The center link doesnt seem exactly straight across.Do I need to use a 73 idler also?Thanks all.
