Sheared pitman arm

[TeaBagger2006]

WHO makes a pitman arm worth a darn? im not paying for the ppe one. ive gone through both moog and OEM, i have braces and my t bars are down all the way all the time. i know my Phat tires are the cause but come on

Again really?!? You might look into a kryptonite setup then joe. It will take some stress off the pitman arm

out of curiousity are you running cognito braces?

I have the braces.... Thought they were supposed to help!

 

[OregonDMAX]

maybe the braces are hurting not helping...just a thought

Man I sure hope that's not the case

i have noticed my steering is stiff at full lock with the braces, wondering if that puts stress on them at full lock i mean they are designed to provide support going straight. just guessing though

I was wondering that same thing. Do you guys breaking pitmans with braces commonly run in 4x4 while turning tightly?

My steering is just as easy at full lock with my tbars all the way down and i have congito braces. I never turn in 4wd though other than really lightly if it's snowy out. Never had an issue.

It definitely puts it in a bind. This just happen at full lock. I believe mine are comong off.

sheared mine off i have braces too and i rarely turn in 4x4 only some times pulling up to the sled but put a new one on well see how long it lasts

I've seen far too many broken pitmans reported and just about every damn one just happens to have Cognito braces. Coincidence? I don't think so. ..

Yeah if I had some time I would like to do some testing. They all have sheared the same way for me.

We had a thread about it a few weeks ago. This has been discussed elsewhere too. It seems you're fine with new parts and the braces but when the pitman and/or idler arms wear then they break.

a quick search and you'll find a lot of cases where guys running cognitos shear the pitman arms with no warning. Seems to be a trend.

maybe switch to the all season brace.
