• Q: How to Install and Secure a Pitman Arm on 2009 Jeep Wrangler?

  A: Attach the pitman arm onto the steering gear shaft, followed by sliding the washer and nut onto the shaft, held in position by tightening the nut to 251 Nm (185 ft. lbs.). After that, put the drag link ball stud onto the pitman arm and tighten a nut to 105 Nm (77 ft. lbs.). Place the track bar into the frame and then adjust the assembly if needed to fit the bar correctly into the frame rail. Connect the track bar to the frame rail bracket using a nut and bolt and torque the nut to 169 Nm for 125 ft. lbs. As soon as you remove the support, lower the vehicle and add enough power steering fluid to the correct level. Part of your inspection should involve checking the toe setting.
