Werd, I have them and they work great!

 

I have the Cognito pitman/idler arm supports along with the idler pivot and my steering is nice and tight.

 

Sounds like they are talking about the idler pivot assembly not the pitman/idler arm supports. The link below has all the info on its purpose.

So to everyone with idler pivot box is it worth the $200 price tag? How long have you guys been running them and how are they holding up?

EDIT: I don't have a welder so could install it and drive it to a welder?

 

Id say its worth it in your situation since it would help solve the problem.

 

I've had mine for over a year and its still fine. Yes you can put the idler pivot in and then drive somewhere to have it welded.

 

Alright thanks guys. This project is on hold now since there is a steady stream of coolant flowing out the bottom of my truck from the block. Extended GM Warranty FTMFW. And they gave me a brand new buick lacross as a rental.

 

If anyone is interested.....If the center link on the steering on our trucks is angled then you need a new idler arm pivot. So replacing this guy tomorrow.
