Description:
This is the perfect taper reamer for reaming out Toyota and Suzuki pitman arms for the larger, more commonly used FJ80 tie rod ends, like the ones offered in our popular high steer kits. Our taper reamer is 1:10 (1" of taper for every 10" of length) and is also expressed as 1.200" TPF (1.200" of taper for every foot of length). The reamer is made from M2 high speed steel with a 1/2" shank diameter for drill press or mill and a 3/8" square end for use with a tap wrench.
Anyone can use this tool. You simply ream out the hole in the pitman arm until you can slide the shank of the TRE in, tighten the castle nut, and install the cotter pin. It takes just a few minutes and can be done with hand tools.

Q: What is a pitman arm? Why buy one?
A: The pitman arm is a crucial component of your steering system which connects your steering box to the tie rods. When you turn the steering wheel the steering box moves the pitman arm, which in turn pushes or pulls the tie rod and directs the wheels which way to go. Usually pitman arms do not wear out, but on occasion they give up the ghost and a new replacement unit will be required to keep your vehicle steering and tracking straight. More common however, people add a lift kit to their vehicle which puts the steering geometry out of whack. Dropped pitman arms are available which correct these steering geometry issues on lifted vehicles to prevent bump steer and keep you in control of your machine.
