Hello all,
I found instructions from Elephant Racing on how to install rack bump steer kit but even they do not mention whether to put the front wheels on ramps or use jack stands and let the wheels drop and hang. So far, I have the front wheels on ramps; I loosened the steering shaft u-joint and was able to get one collar in place and the bolt threaded on the passenger side but cannot get the bolt threaded on the drivers side. Any other tips or suggestions? This is turning out to be much more difficult than I anticipated! Thanks! |

the more the car is lowered the more bump steer correction it will need. thicker spacers would probably correct better than thinner, but then you get the binding that you've experienced. best way to do it is with one of these kits:
