Pitman and Idler Arm Kit 1973-76 Mopar A/E/B-Body

The Pitman and Idler Arm Kit 1973-76 Mopar A/E/B-Body from PROFORGED is a critical steering and suspension component for anyone restoring or maintaining classic Mopar muscle cars and mid-size platforms from the mid-1970s era. This matched pair kit addresses wear in the steering linkage geometry that directly affects front-end alignment, steering response, and tire wear patterns. Whether you're rebuilding a 1973-1976 Dodge Charger, Plymouth Road Runner, or Chrysler New Yorker, worn Pitman and idler arms introduce play in the steering wheel, cause wandering on the highway, and accelerate suspension component failure.

PROFORGED engineered this kit with precision-forged construction to match OEM specifications while offering improved durability over original equipment. The Pitman arm connects the steering box output shaft to the center link, translating rotational input into linear motion across the front axle; the idler arm, mounted on the passenger side, supports and maintains correct vertical geometry of the center link as suspension articulates. Both components feature ball studs with sealed connections that resist grease loss and contamination—critical for longevity in street and show applications. The matched geometry ensures steering feel remains predictable and responsive, and proper alignment geometry is restored after suspension work or component replacement.

Mechanics and restoration enthusiasts choose PROFORGED kits because they eliminate the frustration of sourcing individual left and right components separately and guarantee matched wear characteristics across the steering linkage. Installation requires removal of the center link and steering box access, but no frame modifications; a simple ball joint separator or pickle fork speeds removal of the old studs from the center link and Pitman arm bracket. This kit is essential for any 1973-76 Mopar A-body (Dart, Valiant), E-body (Barracuda, Challenger), or B-body (Coronet, Satellite) undergoing frame-off restoration, front-end geometry correction, or routine steering system maintenance. Once installed and properly aligned, steering response sharpens immediately and tire wear becomes even across both fronts.
