Bump Steer Kits Easy
adjustment to correct for bump steer

Bump
steer - is a change in toe setting due to vertical wheel displacement. A car that bump-steers requires constant steering adjustment to maintain a steady trajectory over uneven surfaces.
This can be handful to drive.
Bump steer becomes severe with lowered ride
height and is extreme with spindle height modifications. It's easily corrected by spacing the end of the tie
rod down. The correct spacing depends on ride height and spindle height, we make all our bump steer
kits adjustable.
Toe steer - A
second problem is introduced when a long bump steer spacer is used, as required
on raised spindle cars. The long spacer acts as a lever to twist the steering knuckle. Beyond the obvious issue of
strength, any twisting of the steering knuckle causes toe steer, and a required
correction at the steering wheel to maintain steady trajectory.
We offer two adjustable bump steer kits; Our
Racing kit is for cars with spindles of any height and
resolves both bump steer and toe steer. Our Bolt-on Bump steer kit is
for cars with spindle height ranging from stock to +19mm.

Racing Bump Steer Kit
Our top-performing bump steer solution is super strong and provides
the sharpest, most predictable steering response. It
eliminates steering knuckle twist induced toe steer. It can be
used on raised spindles of any height.
Double steering knuckle - Holds tie rod end between
two steering knuckles to eliminate knuckle flex regardless of bump
steer spacer length.
Long bump steer spacers (required with raised spindles) place
bending loads that twist stock steering knuckles. Twist causes
undesired toe steer.
Second steering knuckle is welded to the strut body. You
can optionally have us perform the welding for you.
Bump steer adjustable -
allows
massive bump steer adjustment range in .125 inch increments. Double shear
mounting provides solid support for even the longest bump steer
spacing.
Rod End - Weather sealed precision rods ends included work with
regular turbo tie rods. Included boots to seal out dirt and and
water for extended life.
Our purpose-made rod ends are extra long to ensure proper threaded
engagement with standard turbo tie rods.
Spindle height
-
Kits available for 19mm, 30mm, 40mm spindle
height. Kits are easily modified for use with
essentially any spindle height.
