steering link question

I am looking at replacing the steering links on a 86 camaro, and was wondering why they dont replace the Pitman arm when they do all the replacement parts?

Huge n00b here but I’m pretty sure it’s because the pitman arm itself is not considered a wear item. It’s just metal.

The Pitman arm in these cars is just a chunk of steel with 2 holes in it. Nothing to wear out. Never any need to replace it.
