Camaro Z28 - 84


I think I have not received correct answers in the latest posts.
1) The guys told me that this piece (pitman arm bushing) did not need maintenance (greasing) yet on the picture there is a zerk.
2) The photo also shows me that the room (upper) is in poor condition. ... houtch !!!

Question: must surely have a place on the net where can I find this bushing?

Re: Pitman arm

I think it’s part of the center link.

Yes , we have discussed this in the thread above . Miche , if you look at your picture closely you'll see that after the cotter pin and the nut come off from the top , the stud that's connected to that lower part (the center link) will come down and out of the pitman arm (the piece connected to the steering box) and so the wearable stud portion with it's ball joint and grease fitting is actually a part of the center link and not the pitman arm .

I have no handy pictures of the two units separated , but take my word for it , that wearable replacable link IS the center link and not the pitman arm

Again, the part you're asking about is not the pitman arm, nor is it a part of the pitman arm. You'll need to buy a new centerlink since the joints at each end are not individually serviceable.
