Full-size Chevy and GMC pickups, vans and SUVs from 2001 to 2010 may suffer from lazy steering, inducing premature component and tire wear as they get up in miles. Cognito Motorsports has pinpointed a key component that contributes most to the loose steering: the idler pivot assembly and support bracket. Cognito’s Idler Pivot with Gusset Kit (part IPAWG8) comes with a SuperSteer SS175 cast-aluminum idler-arm support with heavy-duty tapered roller bearings designed to reduce play and eliminate “steering slop.” It also includes a weld-in gusset to strengthen the mounting support on the frame, stopping flex, according to the manufacturer. The kit fits all models, 2WD and 4WD.
MSRP: $220
