1968 RR with 383 and power steering. I can not find a pitman arm. I have called the local stores and I have look for a moog part number. Does anyone know where to get one?
Thanks

I don;t think Rockauto lists them. Check with Firmfeel.com. If you find the Moog PN you can then search Rockauto by PN, because they MAY have it.

Look here.
If they don't have it, or can rebuild it, it doesn't exist.

Thanks for the help. Does anyone know why a pitman arm off a 1973 challenger will not work? Every other part is the same in the front end?

The 73 and up arms have a larger splined bore, to fit the larger selector/steering shaft....


The Moog #'s/parts are discontinued,....Duralast has a replacement pn#20101 for your 68 RR, list price is $149, try Autozone or CarQuest for Duralast products

The diameter of the selector shaft that comes out the bottom of the steering gearbox, is different between a 1968 and a 1973 automobile.

What pitman arm should I get and from where? Which is the right one for me. 68 super bee 383 manual steering/brakes.

What would go on my dad's 68 gtx 440 power steering/power brakes.

We both have our front ends redone minus the pitman arm.
thanks in advance, didn't wanna start a new topic so piggybacked off this one.

If you can come up with a casting #, I may have one. My 70 Charger HAD a steering box from a 69 Charger until I swapped in a Firm Feel chuck and fast ratio arms. I have a few pitmans, so I will need a number to be of any help. If I have what you want, its yours for $20 plus shipping. Send me a PM and I will let you know what I have.

The Autozone pitman arm application for your 68 is FA408 regardless of power or maual steering box, previous PN was 20101 Autozone, that may still be good....$159

The better approach is to replace your steering box with a 73 & later box with the large spline.... New pitman arms are readily available.... & it give you an opportunity to upgrade to a new Firm Feel Box...

Just remember you need a puller to take the pitman off the box.Rocky

Too bad I just bought a new idler arm, would be nice to change over to the fast ratio set-up of firm feels. The cheapest is the Kanter automotive one, but don't know quality or maker of it.
Autozone: 142 (rare parts)
From Rare Parts: can't find it on their website.
