How to Service and Repair a Pitman Arm on Dodge Ram 2500?

Begin servicing and repairing the Pitman Arm by removing the nut on the tie-rod and then detach the tie-rod end ball studs from the steering knuckles with the right pulling tool. After that, remove the tie-rod ends from the center link and undo the stud bolt from the idler arm link using a suitable puller and then, unbolt the idler arm from the frame bracket. Take the pitman arm ball stud off the center link, then mark the pitman arm and shaft to guide installation after you remove the pitman arm with Puller C-4150A. Assemble the idler arm and fasten it with the bolt that connects to the frame bracket. Align the steering gear to the marks shown and install the pitman arm, then set the lock washer and retaining nut on the pitman shaft at 251 Nm (185 ft. lbs.). Put the center link onto the ball studs and secure them by tightening the retaining nuts as much as needed. Mount the tie-rod ends onto the center link, secure them by turning the nuts to 88 Nm (65 ft. lbs.) and insert new cotter pins. Next, set the tie-rod ends into the steering knuckles and make sure nuts are tightened to 108 Nm (80 ft. lbs.). Once the supports are gone and the vehicle lowered, turn the center of the steering wheel and check the toe, making sure the clamp on the sleeve is on the bottom with the bolt. The last step is to tighten the tie-rod adjustment sleeve clamp bolt to 61 Nm (45 ft. lbs.).
