pitman arm replacement

Hi all,
Just returned from a 5 week holiday to Mozzieland so was out of circulation.I've just noticed that my right pitman arm needs to be replaced but I think it is wise to replace both at the same time. The dealers price is just above a G :shock: and I am just wondering if this is the going price or whether I can get a better price somewhere else. Any contributions will be welcome.I have a 3.0 gls swb 2000 blister.
Thanks by voorbaat.

Hi.Littleman.
I went through the same problem some time ago while having the wheel alighnment done. You can try Midas and Autozone for the parts. The one is called the Pitman arm and the other one is called the idler arm. They can be a bit of a #@&*$ to remove. Have the wheel alighnment done after you have replaced them.
Regards.
Ivan Madd. :roll:

Hi Ivan,
Thanks for your reply. I'm sorry that I didn't thank you sooner but I somehow just didn't think anybody would respond so I have not been checking this thread lately. I took it to my local garage in Jeffrey s Bay and he sourced one from midas and installed it for less than the part alone cost at the 'steamers.
But anyway thanks for responding.
