SPC Performance Pitman Arm Puller
SPC Performance Pitman Arm Pullers: Professional-Grade Steering Service Tools
When it comes to steering system service, few jobs are more stubborn than removing a pitman arm from its shaft. The tapered spline fit that holds the pitman arm in place is designed to stay put — which is exactly why having the right puller makes all the difference. SPC Performance, a brand with roots going back to 1971, brings the same precision engineering it applies to wheel alignment components to its line of pitman arm pullers — tools built to handle the toughest steering service jobs a technician or enthusiast can face.
A Tool Brand Born from Alignment Expertise
Specialty Products Company (SPC) is the world leader in the development, manufacturing, and sales of wheel alignment parts, with its SPC Performance brand serving the off-road, track, and enthusiast markets. Founded in 1971, SPC started as a specialty automotive tool company, and in 1976 Frank Bigelow purchased the company and incorporated it as Niwot Corporation dba Specialty Products Company. That deep tooling heritage is evident in every pitman arm puller the brand produces. SPC is proud to be an ISO 9001 & IATF 16949 company , a certification that reflects a genuine commitment to consistent quality across its entire product line.
What Sets SPC Performance Pitman Arm Pullers Apart
SPC Performance offers multiple pitman arm puller designs to suit different vehicle types and workspace constraints:
- Adjustable Forged-Jaw Puller (73119): Designed to handle the toughest jobs, the 73119 is adjustable and features special forged jaws shaped to fit the job, with a positive grip that allows the tool to perform many other pulling jobs — jaws open up to 2 1/8".
- Low-Profile Pitman Puller (73130): This low-profile pitman arm puller saves time and money on removal jobs — made with forged steel jaws, its low-profile design removes the need to remove the steering box, and while specially designed for 1988–2000 GM trucks, it also works on many other pitman applications.
- Heavy-Duty Low-Profile Pitman Puller (73150): This heavy-duty, low-profile pitman arm puller saves time and money on removal jobs, features forged steel jaws, and is specially designed for work on 3/4- and 1-ton trucks of most makes and models.
Why Forged Steel Construction Matters
A pitman arm puller endures extreme mechanical stress — it must overcome years of corrosion and tight interference fits without slipping or failing. SPC Performance's use of forged steel jaws across its puller lineup is a deliberate engineering choice: forged components are denser and more resistant to cracking under load than cast alternatives. This matters when you're applying serious torque to a steering shaft that hasn't moved in years.
Motorsports can be hard on components, and SPC parts need to be engineered to withstand harsh environments and repeated punishment — SPC components are race-proven, enduring the harsh environment that only competition can provide, which means they are more than up to the task for daily-driven vehicles.

Whether you're a professional technician tackling a high-mileage truck or a weekend builder restoring a classic, SPC Performance pitman arm pullers offer the vehicle coverage, build quality, and design intelligence that make steering service faster and safer.
