I am about to swap out my front control arms and I want to lower the front end some when I reassemble. I have a new bump steer kit to install. So I guess my question is; will the bump steer kit have any negative effect on the steering if I choose not to go too low?

If you use the bump steer kit it raises the steering rack to change the geometry.
If you lower the a-arms beyond parallel with the ground, they will hit the lowest welded flange on the body when you compress the suspension...so there really is a physical limit. the bump steer kit is ok, but if you are running sticky rubber...it wont make a difference...your gonna get bump steer. rich |
