I seem to be going through pitman arms. I don't have a lift but did turn the torsion bars to raise the front up but not all the way. It did it even before i went a little bigger on the tires. It was fine when the dealer covered it but now they refuse.

its probably a combo of larger tires and cranking your torsion bars. look at the cognito pitman/idler arm support kit, it will increase the life of them and give u a better feel.

I second the Cognito Idler/Pitman Arm Braces.

They will fix you right up!

I received my pit/idlr arm braces from Nick and now just have to install them. THX to all for your advise! When doing the job how can I tell if my pit/idlr arms are shot or not?

 

[Nick.V70]

Have someone turn your steering wheel back and forth while you watch your pitman and idler. If they move around alot in the socket then you probably can use a new set.

I put the Cognito kit on my truck with 37's and boy it made a huge difference. I was goin though idlers and pitman arms every 3,000 miles. I ve got ten on the new ones with the cognito kit and they are not movin at all.

There really is not any other part than OEM, Moog etc. Installing a set of Cognito braces will help your OEM ones if they are not to bad. If so repalce to a new set and the Cognito braces and you will love it... for many miles to come.:driver:

Top of this page ^^^^^^^


Retail is $216.00 but they are still listed for the old price on my site. Don't stress over what part # is right because the new ones come with all the hardware for both apps. The old style/part #'s have been sold out and when the order comes thew we ship out the new part # only.

BTW: The site will be fixed with the right price next week end so......

They are well worth it. Get them,or you will need new arms min once a year. By the way,Nick how are the new ones diff from the previous ones?

They are the same but now 1 part number takes care of both styles of Moog & OEM ....:RockOn: It was to much of a issue befor when a guy didn't know what style he had. So now this way is way better.
