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.

Not sure unless you do not fix all the issues it causes.

Things bind on the steering U-joints if you do not move them around a bit. Or if radical, need to change things like cut and welding the shaft. If you can get it perfect then moving the rack up a bit solves the issue.

Much easier solution to change tie rod ends.

I am not going to get into the physics off moving the rod location and what that does to the loads applied. I will stick with the extra arm at the bottom and not worry about flex induced into the steering system or the loads it produces.

The elephant kit has that lovely extra surround that is there for some reason, my guess is that they found they needed it. Why goto that extra engineering if you don't need to.

Heres the kit I use, and like. They also make a basic kit, for a bit less adjustment that is a single sheer setup.
