TRW Steering Box Pitman Arm - TSX5245

TRW Pitman Arms help keep your steering pointing in the right direction

The TRW pitman arm is a vital link in your vehicle steering. It converts the circular motion of the the steering box into a linear motion to turn the wheels left and right. The pitman arm is a single link so needs to be built strong and maintain a high level of reliability so you can keep the wheels pointing in the right direction. Pitman arms can wear, especially around their connection to the centre link. This causes the steering to have additional play at the steering wheel and makes the steering not as responsive as it used to be. Adding wider wheels increases strain on this component. When checking suspension make sure you give the steering a once over as well.

Your vehicles suspension comprises a vast array of components to help dampen or stiffen the ride to make your vehicle both safe and comfortable. Whether it's a worn lower control arm, sway bar link or bump stop, all these and more contribute to lacklustre handling and potential safety issues. Repco stock a large variety of quality replacement suspension components to keep you and your vehicle safe as you clock up the kilometres. Don't have your vehicle wandering all over the road or bottoming out on bumps and dips when you can replace these with components tried and tested specifically for your vehicle.

As road conditions worsen and the necessity to stop, swerve and avoid collisions seems almost a daily occurence, the need to have your vehicle perform to its optimum level becomes apparent. Whilst we think having enough tread on our tyres and decent brake pads is sufficient, we forget to think that these components rely directly on the performance of your suspension to have them operate correctly. Sway bar links, bump stops and control arms are just some of the parts that go towards a sure footed ride and accurate steering performance. Having slop or wear in any of your suspension components compromises your ride and handling only to be magnified in situations when you rely on them most.

Comprising both kits and full assemblies means we have the right suspension component to replace your original vehicle components and in many cases your new parts will feature uprated bushes to improve performance and handling. Polyurethane bushes on sway bar links and in bump stops add more torsional rigidity while rubber used in strut mounts and control arms provide a level of cushioning and comfort whilst still offering long service life. Unlike rubber bushings, polyurethane suspension bushings are not bonded by compression so maintain their shape and this free pivoting design contributes to the sharper handling response and increased suspension control. Coupled with high load bearing capabilities, increased tensile strength and chemically resistant to oil, grease and weathering make polyurethane bushes an upgrade that will give you the benefits for years to come. So whether rubber or polyurethane, each product in our range of suspension components has been researched and developed to offer maximum control and predictability in all manner of driving conditions.

When looking for replacement suspension components it is also wise to look at the condition of your springs and shocks to gauge whether these need replacing as well. Suspension squeaks, bangs and unresponsive steering and vehicle control are key indicators of worn and depressurized shock absorbers so these should be replaced as required. When it comes to providing a safe and comfortable vehicle Repco have the range of steering and suspension products to help. Stocking the widest ranges and the most trusted brands means we have the right parts to suit your vehicle.
