Is the test for bump steer driving over a speed bump straight on or at an angle. I don't get any noticable pulling when taking the speed bump straight on. Just want to get the test situation straight, any input will be appreciated.
Car is lowered about 50% |

Then that's probably why...
when you drop a car, alignment gets off, and suspension parts get out of wack, like thetie rods work differently because of the angle, etc. This is from my understanding though, I could very well be wrong |
