A couple of days ago, my wife was driving my truck and the stud from the pitman arm sheared off. The pitman arm stud appeared to be cracked 3/4 of the stud previously, and 1/4 of it was a clean break. Anybody experience this kind of thing? The truck has a straight centerlink, and cognito tierods, and a cognito brace on the passenger side of the truck. Luckily my wife was only going like 35mph when the stud sheared off.:(

Read on dieselplace about this happening to a couple trucks. It was suggested that the braces put added strain on those studs and the pitman/idler itself although I have no idea as to the validity of that theory.
