Yes. Generally, steering components are "overbuilt" to minimize failure - which can be catastrophic. (That's why they are overbuilt.) A worn pitman arm failure will strip a driver of steering control in a vehicle so affected. Don't let this one get away. Find a mechanic or someone who can help you replace it. Pronto. And good luck.
