DIY Bump Steer Kit Options

[Mr. M]

I did a search, but I didn't come up with the information that I was looking for, has anyone put together their own bump steer kit? Hoping to find out where people were able to source the parts from or a parts list that they used to make the kit.

You can do it, by chance you own a metal lathe?

Lots of details in that kit, and I do not like them as a single sheer point. Properly done with another arm welded at the bottom of the strut, to make it a double sheer situation. Oh the leverage going on with that setup.

Making the proper bump-steer kit like shown by Mark is easier. I never did it, but thought about it long and hard, is to measure it, setup tests with washers, get the right height with Zero bump steer, and then machine a spacers the proper height.

One item of note, I have removed the center rubber steering spacer to get the geometry back in proper place. My last setup, I did that and removed the shaft under the dash, and sectioned it, then welded the tube, ground it down, and added a sleeve. That allowed the U-joints nit to bind under the dash. With out this I got an effort sine Waze going as I turned the car.

Last version I was going with the kit much like you see there, but in double sheer. I left the rubber isolator out of the steering.

They ought to be included with every 914 purchased.
