Pigeon Toeing

[04JJHD]

I've searched everywhere and can't figure this one out. Will the cognito idler and pitman support help with this problem. I just don't want to break a tie rod. Any help is greatly appreciated

Anyone have any info?

Pigeon toeing was what the Ford trucks and Vans always did when you lift them off the ground via lift, the wheels would angle inwards and look broken. I believe that was the meaning for it.

I never seen a GM truck do that before. I think maybe you have issues with your upper and/or lower ball joints if that is occuring.

Do you have worn parts? Is your front end cranked up?

 

First you have to eliminate the problem. Then you can consider adding the cognito supports to help prevent it again.

If you go on YouTube and type in why not to buy a duramax the truck breaks the tie rods. I've heard this is because the center link is steered in an arc and Has to be able to swing back and forth but the cognito kit is supposed to stop the wear on the pitman arm and idler arm, and allow for the center link to swing. I should also add my truck has a leveling kit and 305/70/16. I have the heavy duty napa idler arm and one new tie rod and grease the front end every oil change
