I'm happy to help, Scott! If the products do not meet your expectations or do not properly fit the vehicle, you may return them to any local Advance Auto Parts store with your receipt for a refund. The MOOG Pitman Arm (Part No. K7239) and Idler Arm (Part No. K7217T) for your 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 5.2L V8 RWD include the additional parts and are engineered to improve upon the original equipment designs.
THIS IS AN AWFUL PART! THE SPLINES DO NOT ALIGN WITH A STOCK 2ND GEN DODGE STEERING BOX SPLINE. SAVE YOURSELF THE TIME AND HEADACHE AND BUY THE MOOG - THE BALL JOINT ON THE MOOG IS 2X AS BIG AS THIS _POS PART

The Pitman Arm is used in four wheelers. The Pitman arm is a linkage attached to the steering gear sector shaft.
