More information:

The single hole steering arms are designed for use in a Jeep or other short wheelbase vehicle where the pitman arm points backward.  When you don’t have a whole lot of room between the axle and the steering box, then you need to run these steering arms to get lock to lock steering.  In these cases you need the shortest steering arm coupled with the shortest pitman arm, and singled holed arms allow you to do that.  You’d use an inverted-T style steering setup.  These arms measure 6-3/8” from center to center, and couple with a minimum length pitman arm of 5-3/4”

 A staple of the kingpin Dana 60 world (unless you have a Ford, more about that later).  These steering arms have been around forever, and continue to git ‘er dun.  The springless design eliminates the kingpin spring, and is vital when you have larger than 37” tires.  The kingpin spring rate was designed for the 31” pizza cutter tires that originally came on the older trucks.  When the tire size increases, so does the weight, and that means the kingpin spring is no longer stiff enough to hold the assembly together.  When you use the springless design, there’s no longer a spring that can compress going over bumps (think washboard surfaces).  We get questions about how often it needs adjustment, and our recommendation is check it at every oil change.  It wears when you turn; it’s not a wheel bearing or driveline spinning a million miles per hour.   

 If you have a Ford kingpin knuckle, bad news, new knuckles are in your horoscope.  Plenty of people try, but eventually the OE Ford kingpin knuckles fail when high steer is used.  You can run off the stock knuckle arm all day long, and we’ve built full hydro buggies that did without fail.  However once you bolt something to the top of the Ford knuckle, it’s breaks the top off :\
