front end rebuild question

When you do the pitman and idler arm, you can use the support brackets to keep them lasting longer and provide a nicer feel. I got mine from cognito Motorsports and I've really enjoyed the ride.

Proforged suspension stuff is nice and stout

I had all 4 balljoints replaced in my Yukon this past summer. I wish I would have just replaced the whole A-arm, prob would have been cheaper / same price and would have new A-arm bushings in them to boot.

Right after new idler and pitman arms were installed on mine, I put the cognito pitman and idler brace kit on as well. I was going to recommend it, but looking at the web site for cognito I did not see a kit for 1500 series trucks or suvs?

My steering was fairly sloppy when I replaced the pitman and idler arm. I can say afterwards, it was very tight and précis however, I expect that would always be the case when installing new pitman and idler arms. The point for me was that I don't want to do it again and the cognito kit is supposed to support them better so that the pitman and idler arm last significantly longer.

Has anyone used this on a 6 nut wheel? http://www.exaxt.ca/steering_assenbly.asp

I'm assuming it will not fit. From this thread

http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/76...ther-pitman-arm-failure-cognito-braces-3.html

it appears some had trouble with the cognito kit. However, it sounds as if it was being used on a heavier duty application (8-nut wheel).

Are the IAAUTO PARTS front end kits any good? They have tons of different kits and seem to be low price. Just wondering where a good place to shop. Auto Zone and Oreillys do not have kits at all. Never have bought at ROCK AUTO.
Just wondering?
Yes I need to do my daughters 2002 GMC YUKON SLT FRONT END NEXT SUMMER.
Thank you.
