Lift kits, Oversized wheels and tires, Off Roading, Drag Racing, Sled Pulling in 4 wheel drive and just everyday driving can apply extreme demands on the stock GM steering components. The factory tie rod assemblies on the Chevy / GMC - 1500HD/2500HD/3500 and the Hummer H2 are not sufficient for the job they were asked to do. These components were way under designed from the factory and are a real danger when extra loads are put on them.

From the start these undersized components are the weak link in the front end of your truck and need to be addressed for a good reliable solid steering system. Since the factory tie rod ends are not what they should be, they start wearing prematurely which will result in sloppy steering at first, then eventually the worst case, complete failure and breakage. Even the tie rod shaft themselves are very thin and weak, we have seen them bend from just mild off roading.

Unfortunately the original units were just way under designed from the get go. So even good quality aftermarket replacement steering parts are better, but the original OEM units are just too small to take the extra demand put on them. It is the small size of the joint and the main shaft that is the culprit not just the quality of the part.....

~~~~ Quick Story ~~~~ We have seen first hand GM outer tie rods ends give up the go and break apart, and this was on a truck that had never seen the dirt and was used for normal street driving. Not to scare anyone, but I think I need to share a friends story with you. We have a good friend (local police officer) that took his 2001 GMC Sierra with a 8" Fabtech lift on a 300 mile rode trip to the Colorado river. He had the truck loaded all of the family's stuff for the weekend, then hooked up the family ski boat, loaded his wife and two kids in the truck and left the house for a fun family weekend. After traveling 300+ miles on the interstate he exited the interstate and headed for the vacation house. As he slowly entered the drive way to the vacation house and went up that little tiny 1" bump at the end of the driveway, the right outer OE tie rod end snapped off and sent the tire flopping rearward into the fender well and stopped him in his tracks. Luckily this is when it decided to break, at low speeds in front of his house, how lucky to have it break then and there, after traveling over 300 miles at high way speeds. Who knows what could have happened if it had broken off at high way speeds????
He NOW owns a set of these tie rod ends!!!

These Cognito Super Tie Rod Assemblies are almost three times the size of the original GM Units. Provide better steering control and increased safety. THEY ARE A MUST FOR LIFTED TRUCKS WITH BIGGER TIRES. Don't get left on the side of the road, buy some cheap insurance and peace of mind. Directly replaces OE units and attaches to the stock center link.

~ SECOND: THE PITMAN IDLER ARM SUPPORT KIT

Features:

  • Includes hardware for factory or after market pitman and idler arms
  • Supports your Pitman and Idler Arms from Stress and Wear
  • Comes Complete with All Parts for Installation

Overview:
**NOW INCLUDES HARDWARE FOR FACTORY OR AFTERMARKET PITMAN AND IDLER ARMS** Whether your truck is stock height or lifted and running oversized tires, Pitman and Idler arms have always been a problem on the steering systems of the GM and FORD vehicles. The Pitman and Idler arm Support kit by Cognito Motorsports fixes a wear problem that is present on the factory and aftermarket steering system. Aftermarket companies have come out with heavier duty pitman and idler arms that fail the same way that the factory parts do. The design created by Cognito Motorsports solves the problem in an innovative way that no one else has been able to create before. This design works so well that we were able to establish a UTILITY PATENT.

The problem when not using the Cognito Motorsports Pitman and Idler Arm Support kit:
If you are not familiar with how the GM steering system works, here is a quick lesson. The pitman arm is connected to the output shaft of the steering gear box. When you turn the steering wheel of your vehicle, the motion is directed to the steering gear box which then rotates the pitman arm. The pitman arm has a stud protruding from the end of it where the center link connects, also called the drag link. To help control steering motion, the center link is connected to an idler arm on the passenger side of the vehicle. The idler arm is bolted to the frame and swings in the same arc as the pitman arm, and is fastened to the center link the same way the pitman arm is. The two mounting points for the center link give it support in the motion left and right relative to the vehicle, but there is not enough support in the direction of forward to backward relative to the vehicle. This lack of support is what causes the joints inside of the pitman and idler arms to wear out, which provide the pivot and connection point for the center link. The larger the tire on the vehicle, the faster these joints wear out. Aftermarket companies have come out with beefed up pitman and idler arms, but still have the same premature wear issue in the same joint.

What happens if you are not using the Cognito Motorsports solution?
The front alignment toe settings can not be held because of the slop in the pitman and idler arms allowing the center link to move forward and backward. No control over the toe setting means that your front tires will experience irregular and premature wear. When the center link swings toward the back of the truck, it is also swinging up in an arc. The center link swinging up increases the tie rod angle and can cause tie rod breakage. Most tie rod problems actual originate from pitman and idler arm problems.

The Cognito Motorsports Solution:
The Mechanical Engineer at Cognito Motorsports has come up with a non traditional design to fix this problem, and it works GREAT! The support kit can be installed on pitman and idler arms showing a lot of wear, and actually revive them! If the worn parts have approximately 40,000 miles or less on them with a close to stock size tire, they probably will not have to be changed. If the worn parts have approximately 20,000 miles or less on them with larger than 33” tires, they probably will not have to be changed. If the parts have more miles than that on them, it is recommended to replace the pitman and idler arms with factory units and add the Cognito Motorsports Pitman and Idler Arm Support Kit.

This innovative design is so unique that it has a utility patent pending status right now. The support system works by double capturing the studs that protrude from the pitman and idler arms which the center link connects to. At the same time it still allows the studs to pivot on their own axis which is needed when the steering system is turning. This Cognito Motorsports system provides the support needed to prevent the center link from rocking forward and backward in the vehicle.

~ THIRD: THE HEAVY DUTY +1" SWAY BAR END LINKS

We have found a serious clearance issue with the sway bar when using stock length sway bar end links with these tie rod ends. This clearance issue occurs on many trucks running stock suspension that have been highly leveled out, (raised up in the front), especially if you are running an aftermarket upper control arm leveling kit and or lifting / leveling torsion keys. This by itself will cause a very close tie rod to sway bar clearance issue and on many trucks the two will contact each other. Check your truck for this clearance issue!

When you upgrade to the Cognito tie rod assemblies, there for sure becomes a clearance issue with the sway bar. The inner tie rod joints on these heavy duty tie rods are much bigger than the factory units and will hit the sway bar. When the truck is raised / leveled the angle of the lower control arm increases, this also pulls the sway bar down as they are attached to each other by the sway bar end link. This combination of bigger inner tie rod joints and increased lower control arm angle will cause the tie rods to hit the sway bar. We have designed a solution to this problem, our SSM 1" longer Heavy Duty Sway Bar End Link Kit!!

On top of the clearance issue the original sway bar end links are notorious for breaking. So get a REAL Heavy Duty Sway Bar End Link for your HD and stop breaking those stock wimpy end links. These sway bar end links are a Heavy Duty replacement to the factory style end links, and are 1" longer to clear the sway bar.

NEW AND IMPROVED!!! - We have just released our NEW IMPROVED Heavy Duty 1" Longer Sway Bar End Link Kit. This kit now features a 3/4" powder coated steel hex bar center section. Larger, correct size, Energy Suspension HYPER-FLEX ™ Performance Polyurethane sway bar end link bushings. These larger bushings are the correct size for the HD sway bar, they are not a universal one size fits all bushing. Bushings are made from a firm polyurethane and provide more overall mass and surface area than a smaller universal bushing. Then we top them off with Grade 8 zinc plated hardware. This unit is far superior than the factory part and works on a leveled or bone stock truck. Link set does both sides. MADE IN THE USA!!!

This kit will work on bone stock trucks, stock trucks with leveling kits, or trucks with lift kits that require use of the original length GM sway bar end links. For lifted trucks with super long aftermarket end links, we have a different style unit available for those trucks as well.

This bus concept brightens up journeys with transparent LCD screens

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Designer Tad Orlowski has explored how technology could shape public transit vehicle design with his new ‘Willie' bus concept, which trades windows and body panels transparent LCD screens. With static advertising space replced with LCD screens the bus is transformed into a mobile billboard that display not only advertising but also information such as route plans, weather reports and suggestions for tourists. They could also have touch functions, allowing passengers to interact with the displays.
