All Season Centerlink Brace

[LWATSON]

Probably not a bad idea, mine have over 200k on them.

Anyone know if factory nuts are needed to install tony's brace?

 

[OregonDMAX]

I would use factory nuts they were different enough I didn't want to reuse the cognito ones. Also used loctite on the factory ones.

 

[Tony Burkhard]

You could maybe use the cognito nuts but flip them over and use Loctite. Here in a week or so I will have a nice upgrade for the old braces and you will be able to purchase these either way.

I just wanna say today I installed new Moog idler pitman arms along with your brace Tony. I was super impressed how straight the launches were. Seemed with the cognito braces I had more toe in then I thought. Guess that's why I bent them. Anyways I will say IMO the DHD brace out does the cognito braces. Very simple to install only thing I had to do is cut the bolt on the LCA to get full turning radius.

Am I seeing that right and that is a roller bearing on the end? Looks like a good idea I might have to try it.

You have any pics of this installed?

 

[Tony Burkhard]

sorry not yet.

Can you use this in place of your center link brace or is it to be used along with the other brace?

sorry not yet.

What's the advantage over the standard Teflon that is on it already?

Probably that it won't wear out like the Teflon does. Some guys were halfway through the Teflon in a couple thousand miles. Mine doesn't run the diff normally, so it doesn't wear much, but I can see how it would if it were in contact all the time.

Is this upgrade a replacement for the old brace? What are the benefits of it over the original brace? Are there any cons compared to the old brace?

And I just ordered the old brace lol damnit. Should be seeing it soon though I hope. Maybe I'll order thus too and try it out. Half the price of the brace, might be worth doing a comparison.


Edit: Wait a minute....I see what this is now. Replacement for the Teflon. Man, do I feel dumb now. Still, probably a good idea to upgrade lol

Used with your factory center link.

I have the DHD brace, it's nice! Worth every penny.

 

[chevyburnout1]

Awesome! I'll have to grab one of these. I was one of the people who wore through the Teflon pretty quick.

 

[jliddle]

Will one of these work with a Cognito NTD lift?

 

[TROJAN366]

no. front diff is still relocated.
