Industrial 12460468 Pitman Arm Steering Component

The Humvee M998 A2 Steering Pitman Arm (Part 12460468) is a forged-steel steering linkage that converts the rotary motion from the steering gearbox into the linear motion required by the center link for precise directional control in heavy-duty military and off-road vehicles. Manufactured by AM General, it carries Alternate Part Number 6004838 and NSN 2530-01-420-5180, and is designed for the A2 heavy-duty steering system in HMMWV variants. It mounts to the steering gear output shaft via a splined connection and positions the linkage between the steering gearbox and center link to transfer steering force accurately. Construction is forged steel with a corrosion-resistant coating. Commonly used in AM General HMMWV M998A2, M1025A2, M1038A2, M1097A2, M1114, and Hummer H1 vehicles, the pitman arm supports steering system repairs, replacement of worn linkage components, suspension upgrades, and restoration of tactical vehicles. It is listed as a common replacement for AM General 6004838 Steering Pitman Arm, Hummer H1 A2 Steering Pitman Arm, and MOOG Heavy-Duty Steering Pitman Arm for HMMWV/H1, reflecting its role in maintaining reliable steering performance in military and off-road operations.
