Hey guys, I’m new to posting but not new to the site. I’ve used the forums many times when in need of guidance, so I want to say Hello and thank you very much.


I have a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with a 4” lift on 35s and I accidentally hit a fire hydrant yesterday. It was towed and I didn’t think there was much damage at all until I picked it up.

long story short I got away with a small dent on my bumper and an issue with my steering.

The steering broke at the high point of the pitman arm where the “bolt” inserts at the top of the pitman arm. . I can see the upper end twisting when I steer. It it obviously snapped.

I need to replace the part but I have no idea what it’s called or where to get it. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

let me know if you need anything more from me. Thank you all!

 

Jeep dealer is a good place to start and wouldn't that be called a pitman arm? Or are you talking about the shaft from the steering box called the sector shaft? Got a big nut on it. Not sure what bolt inserts???? Pictures!!

 

It kinda sounds to me like OP is referring to the pitman arm bolting to the sector shaft. Are you saying the pitman arm itself broke near that area? If that is the case, I think there has to be some concerns about the integrity of the sector shaft itself.
