cognito tie rod ends

[jaredszakacs]

Hey guys just warning you on these products if you have them get rid of them if you are thinking of buying them DONT! I have had mine on my 2010 dmax for just over 7 months and has had very minimal 4x4 use and already the driver's side tierod end is already starting to pull out and come loose! I talked to cognito they said tough titties you live in Canada and tierods are normal wear issue and have no warranty, even though there company says they have a lifetime warranty! I have recently ditched cognito and went to RARE PARTS tierod ends and all i gotta say is wow, fit and finish is way better and steering is tighter with them on. Just thought I would post this before someone else has a very serious issue with there tierods

You think dodge front ends are good. From what i have seen working in the trade chevs are better then dodge and fords better than chev.

yes but neither ford nor chev has the weight on the front axle that a dodge does.

why did i have a sneaking suspicion that you were gonna be the first to chime in on this one lol yeah not really a chev problem but more the fact that cognito chyte the bed I guess alligatorperformance.com were i got them said they have discontinued carrying them due to some serious problems! so i have my new ones in already RARE PARTS and man do they work I tried a little 4x4 launch the other day and yeah they work way better:d the dodge front end is actually pretty solid most hardcore racers and pullers actually switch to a dodge front diff and gearing and works quite well yes i'm a chev guy but if I had to buy another truck dodge it would be!

Sad to say but I really havent ridden it yet LOL. Havent broke 100kms on her but those first 100 have been great. No complaints at all...

Saturday maybe will get out...Work is really messing with my sledding...Oh well, when the industry went soft we always said if it ever picks up I wont complain, so NOT complaining...much

I would stay away from anything cognito, havent seen anything they build last.

cognito is usually pretty solid it's why gm partnered with them and made the cognito lifts gm approved lifts. The pitman idler arms are simply amazing to just the tirods are having issues they are working out a new design but until then I bought new ones and will be staying away for a bit
