Suspension Bump Steer Angles

Bump-steer kits really need to be measured, with a bump-steer measuring kit.

The problem with general setting methods is that they are mostly wrong because they change based on static settings (caster and camber). A fox running more caster will have radically different settings than a car with stock settings. Same with slight differences in camber.

Short of measuring best you can do is eyeball. Do you have a photo of the stack setup and control arms?

Thje process is a total PITA. I did it once and doubt i'll do it again

If anything, I think you need to raise the tie rod end. Do you know your caster numbers? Stock or more caster than stock? Most caster will lift the tie rod end mount, requiring a bigger bumpsteer spacer stack. How many inches lower than stock would you guess you are?

The imaginary line you want to try to focus on is from the a-arm bushing on the k-member out to the pivot point on the balljoint. That’s the movement arc you want to try to get as parallel to in order to eyeball.

Keep in mind, this is all guessing using generalizations. Short of directly measuring that’s all you can do.

For example, this is measured out using the kit (total PITA to actually do) and you can see it’s completely different from yours, BUT my settings are different than yours most likely so not suggesting this is what you should set it to. My point is the generalized bumpsteer settings really need to be tailored more than some of the simplified directions I’ve seen.
