The Pitman Arm in Chevrolet Tahoe affects the movement of the wheels such that the rotary movement can be converted to straight movement for steering purposes. This mechanical component is a system that links the steering box's sector shaft with the drag link so that the wheels will be in a position to steer in accord with the driver wants. You find that over time, the ball joint of the Pitman arm will be wearing out, create some play in the steering which in turn affects safety of the vehicle. Over the years the Pitman arms used by Tahoe models have varied from wooden to SAE or WPA, and later steel designs incorporated with ball joints and bearing. All in all, the Pitman arm is crucial for converting the linear movement of a rod or a shaft in order to enhance the functionality of diverse mechanical systems of automobiles, such as steering mechanisms.
