1976-77 Ford Bronco Drop Pitman Arm

After years of filing more pitman arm key ways than you can shake a stick at, we developed this fully indexed pitman arm. This custom drop pitman arm can be installed at 10-degree increments, helping you easily center your steering right to left. Designed specifically for Broncos with 3" of lift or more, this pitman arm ensures your drag link operates at the correct angle, reducing wear and tear on your ball joints and enhancing overall steering performance.

Unlike most pitman arms that can only be installed in one position on the steering box sector shaft, ours offers versatility and precision, making it easier to fine-tune your steering. 

  • Fitment: 1976-77 Ford Bronco with stock Y-Style steering linkage

    • If you have converted to T-style linkage, please purchase part #1275

  • Recommended for: Broncos with 3" of lift or more for proper drag link angle

Asked by Gary Richey, August 30, 2020

Q: I will be installing your 2.5 lift kit and a 1 body lift. Will this arm work or is it too much of a drop for that combination? I will also add an adjustable track bar.

Answered by sales - August 31, 2020

A: We would use the stock pitman arm, and an adjustable track bar.

Didn't know I needed it until I installed it. Big difference in getting the front end parallel.

I drove my Bronco for years after installing a 2" lift and had a little liveable bump steer. After replacing the auto with a manual transmission, I noticed the bump steer when the nose dived between shifts. Not something you want happening with one hand on the shifter! This dropped pitman arm eliminated that issue. Thanks again WH!
