Does anyone here have experience using an ERP bump steer kit on the street? I'm concerned about wear. I drive my car quite a bit (5-10k/year) on the street and I'm worried about them wearing out quickly since they aren't sealed. Anybody have experience with this?

I have been told that you only need to do rack spacers if your tie rods are parallel to the ground. If you have any angle on them be it up or down the bump steer kit is not necessary.

My car is very low and I have an upwards angle on the tie rods to the outside of the car.

I have absolutely 0 bump steer. No rack spacers.

Car handles great with no kick back in the steering wheel.

Why do you feel you need a bump steer kit? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
