pitman and idler arms replacement

[GasGuzzler]

My right F tire is wearing out on the outside and my local dealer told me I have to replace the idler and pitman arms for about $750 (parts+labor). The mechanic told me (off record) that I should get the Fabtech parts instead since they are much stronger. After checking out the Fabtech site, I discovered that their pitman/idler system is being recalled.

What gives? Should I get the $350 factory parts or should I go with another aftermarket pitman/idler like the Cognito system?

The more research I do, the more confused I get...... Many of the posts here are calling for the Fabtech but what about the recall?

Any advise is appreciated.

I think you can pick up the pitman and idler off of ebay for around $150...shouldn't be too hard to change them out yourself, or with a friend...
