FA300 - fits 1976-79 Ford F100 and F150 with power steering, 78-79 Bronco with power steering,
and 66-77 Bronco (with or without power steering)
NOTE: This pitman arm (FA300) is a
direct factory replacement. However,
on models equipped with "scissor
style" steering (see Figure 3), found
on the 1976-77 F100, F150 and old
model Bronco, the drag link and tie
rod assembly will require changing to
the "straight style" in order to install a
drop pitman arm.
To install the new pitman arm:
1. Remove the tie rod end from the
pitman arm and lower tie rod down.
2. At the upper end of pitman arm,
remove the nut and lock washer
from the output shaft of the
steering box.
3. With a puller, remove the old pitman arm and install the new arm, being sure to install the lock
washer and nut.
4. Install the tie rod back onto lower end of the pitman arm. Be sure to install the cotter pin after
tightening the nut. (If you changed the style of steering rods, do not forget to reset the toe-in and
toe-out and tighten all of the tie rod assembly.)
5. Check and retighten periodically.
