Cadillac Escalade Pitman Arm
The Pitman Arm is a steering linkage that is used in Cadillac Escalade that manipulates the rotary motion of the steering wheel into linear movement and provides accurate control of the automobiles wheel. This is particularly important to control and maintain stability hence safety while on the road. The Pitman Arm transmits movement from the sector shaft of the steering box to the drag link to enable turning of the Cadillac Escalade. Tremors or Pitman Arms have been used in Cadillac Escalade models over the years with changes in the materials and style. The initial models could possibly have been constructed from less complex and lighter materials while subsequent models use stronger metals such as steel and may have ball joints and bearings for better functionality. The changes that have been made to the Pitman Arm indicate the on-going efforts to improve the steering system as well as the safety of the Cadillac Escalade.

Cadillac Escalade Pitman Arm Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove and install Idler Arm and Pitman Arm on Cadillac Escalade?A:This information applies only to models with a recirculating-ball steering gear. The steering linkage connects the steering gear to the front wheels, consisting of the Pitman arm, idler arm, relay rod, two adjustable tie-rods, and sometimes a steering damper. The Pitman arm, attached to the steering gear shaft, moves the relay rod, which is supported by the idler arm. The relay rod's motion is transmitted to the Steering Knuckles through tie-rod assemblies. To inspect, unlock the steering wheel, raise the front of the vehicle securely with jackstands, and check for play in the relay rod and tie-rod. If play exceeds 0.039 inches, replace the assembly. Check the idler arm for play greater than 0.078 inches and inspect for torn boots or damaged components. For removal, detach the tie-rod ends from the steering knuckle arms, separate the relay rod from the Pitman and idler arms, and install new nuts during reassembly. When replacing the idler arm, ensure proper torque settings and do not reuse nuts. For the Pitman arm, mark alignment for reassembly, inspect threads and seals, and use a new nut during installation. Inspect the steering damper for fluid leakage and excessive wear, test for smooth resistance, and replace if necessary. Remove and install the damper following the reverse of the removal process.
