    cognito morotorsport tie rod end kit

    anyone using these, i just got some 36 on 20's and worried about my steering. thas alot more leverage than stock tires. im already gonna buy the idler and pitman arm kit, is anyone using the tie rod end kit. its very simple idea, replaces sh!!ty ball and socket joints with heims, but still skeptical. anyone?
    Today 03:25 am 6 stringer o thats a good point, its ok ill just add a blinker fluid cooler
    Today 03:24 AMtruckinL33 that's not a good place for it, you can overheat your blinker fluid with the capacitor
    Today 03:23 AMtruckinL33 i need them for when i go back to 1985
    Today 03:23 AM6stringer i mounted my flux capacitor next to my blinker fluid resevoir
    Today 03:22 AMtruckinL33 me too, right next to my flux compasator!
    Today 03:22 AM6stringer hey gear oil needs to be cooled, i have front and rear diff coolers

    or would this be a decent alternative? it doesnt help the ball and sockets, but seems like a slightly simpler solution

    The actual tie rods are the weak point. One of my play grounds is Glamis Ca., and ive seen a bunch of GM IFS truck with broken tie rods. I have the idler kit, and will be installing the tie rod kit next week.

    thats the point of the sleeves. all the stress goes on that think sleeve and not your tie rod. No need to go spend almost 400 bucks on the heim design.
