Intended for compatible 1964–1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass applications. Verify exact model year and steering configuration before ordering. Manual steering and power steering setups may use different pitman arms. Confirm steering gearbox sector-shaft spline count and diameter. Verify the center-link stud taper and mounting position. Some GM A-Body vehicles use different pitman arms depending on engine, suspension, or steering option. Do not assume compatibility with aftermarket quick-ratio steering boxes. Modified center links, steering boxes, or suspension systems may affect fitment. Compare overall length and clocking angle with the original pitman arm. A pitman arm must be installed in the correct indexed position on the steering gearbox. Professional alignment is recommended after replacing major steering linkage components. Inspect the idler arm, center link, tie rods, and steering box for wear at the same time.
