So since I got this thing the front end has had a creaking noise when steering. I thought it was the tie rods since the boots were shot and they ended up being completely worn out when I replaced them with Kryptonite Deathgrip tie rods (Which are awesome I have them on my RCSB as well). They helped the steering but didn't take all the play out or the creaking sound. The Idler and Pitman arm appear to be the original units and I think they may be the problem. I think I'm going to order new Moog Idler, Pitman and Idler brace along with the Cognito support brackets.

Anyone have a better idea? Don't really want to spend more than $400 on all the parts or I'd buy all the Kryptonite parts.
Might also try to adjust a little play out of the gear box if there's still slop after replacing these items.
