Re: PROBLEM WITH COGNITO PITMAN/IDLER KIT
I searched my cognito kit over an its with in 1/8 inch from hitting the center link aswell. what is this problem causing? Shaking? ive noticed a slight shake in my front end recently wasnt sure if it may be from this an ive also noticed liderarm an pitman arm bolts from the cognito kit have been working thereselves loose even with locktight. i also have had a aftermarket pivot box installed i wonder if that is whats keeping them from hitting being in a diffrent mounting position. gah an to be a hummer aka OFFroad Warrior i sure have had my time with suspension problems hopefully this one isnt a biggie an for those thinking of using this kit iam not real sure how bad of a situation this problem is. i cant tell you with out upgrading the strenght of the pitmanarm an idlerarm you will have front end problems sooner than later. my sugestions would be before you begin 2 have problems upgrade tierods(fabtech),pivot box,idler&pitman,edelbrock panhard rod, edelbrock trailing arms. this will make for a much much more enjoyable truck. or you can do as i did an just let it go until its all FD up an have 2 spend around 3-4 grand 2 get it all fixed it caused my hubs 2 go out even.To bad Gm couldnt have built these trucks with 2500 or 3500 series steering?suspension parts because it sure would have made hummer owners much much happier and much more money in there pocket instead of having to upgrade a 60,000 doller trucks suspension parts. these trucks weight what 1.5 tons heavier than a 1500 series truck. your steering will give you problems eventually. that much weight on those quality of parts you would be doing good 2 get 50k miles before you have problems iv heard reports of people having issues within 8000k miles
