Ready to buy new front end- Need a couple quick answers

Sucks that this has to be done at 50k without the need for another 225.00 part. I should have just ordered cheaper idler/pitman to help pay for the support kit.

Good Lord

Just ordered the support kit from Off Road Warehouse. 225.00 shipped.

FYI- Cognito said to install this before your alignment, in my case since I'm doing other front end work, or get an alignment after this part is installed.

Depending on the mechanic, you may or may not need the alignment. After mine was installed he checked the alignment and the front didn't change from the last time I had my mechanic do the alignment.

Good to know. If you have the resource that makes you feel good about it and your 2000 + dollar tires than all the better.

I have most of these same parts sitting in a box ready to go in (Moog Pitman & Idler, Cognito Support Kit). Are there any special tools required to pull/install the Pitman and Idler?

for the pitman arm, you can pick up/rent a puller at autozone.

i didnt use one on mine. i remember i banged on it for awhile with a hammer, and a ball joint remover. i just remembered that it sucked and took some time. so might be in your interest to pick up a puller and make it easier on yourself
