Re: [FWDLK] Pitman arms?



Very interesting indeed! I have never been able to physically compare them, the power steering set-up I have is out of a 6 cylinder while both of my cars are V-8’s with manual steering. If someone wants to take some measurements of a 55/56 Dodge or Plymouth power steering pitman, I would be happy to replicate the measurements on a manual car.

Interesting.  We removed an arm from a V8 manual car and also one from a V8 P/S car, and they were clearly different.  Both '56 Dodges.

George,

I am going to have to respectfully disagree with Tim. While there is a difference between the pitman arms for 6 cylinder and 8 cylinder cars for the 55/56 Dodge/Plymouths, the respective pitman arms remained the same whether the car was equipped with manual or power steering. The parts book lists part number "1611 205" for all 8 Cylinder 55-56 Dodges and Plymouths and “1611 205” for all 6 cylinder cars.

Yes.   Manual arms are shorter IIRC
