Hey, does anyone know how to stop bumpsteer? I have motorsport springs but is there any other suspension parts(tie rods, etc.) that would help me with bumpsteer, at 80, its hard to control the car. Please help. Thanx

bumpsteer kit.

Are you experiencing bumpsteer (instability at 80 MPH would not necessarily indicate a bumpsteer issue)?

bumpsteer is created when the suspension is asked to travel in a greater range than stock. ie: lowering your car. or can be caused with bent suspension components or a loose steering rack, or camber is out of adjustment.. I had excessive bumpsteer and it went away with Maximum Motorsports caster/camber plates..

1990-1993 Tie rods will help because the shank is longer and allows the rack to move further up and down. Get some offset rack bushings too.
