Detailed Description
This steering pitman arm is designed for select 1980-1996 Ford Bronco, 1980-1996 Ford F-150, 1980-1986 Ford F-250, 1980-1986 Ford F-350, and 1980-1983 Ford F-100 applications. Dorman 541-435 uses a 36-spline connection, a 29.24 steering shaft diameter, and a 15 center link end attachment diameter to match the specified steering geometry on these vehicles. If you are replacing a worn pitman arm on a Ford Bronco or Ford F-150, this part number provides the correct style of steering linkage connection for the listed applications.
The Dorman 541-435 pitman arm is a practical OE-style replacement for steering service on classic Ford trucks and SUVs.
