Bump Steer Kit

[Mavrick]

I found a dead tie rod end, and figured i might as well buy a new bump steer kit.

How is this kit from Mustnags Unlimited...

I'm not sure i can/want to afford the steeda kit.

Pro's/Con's?

How much have you lowered your car?

The front's are FMS C springs.. so most likely a little less than 2" from what i've read/seen.

I would recommend getting a bump-steer kit and a good set of C/C plates. Maximum Motorsports does not recommend using off-set rack bushings. Just letting you know for consideration purposes, not saying that is concrete, but you know what I mean...

Thanks for the link stang22. I'd like to go with CC plates but i can not afford them as of yet. Maybe for xmas

I think i'll go with those HPM units if i can get them.

 

[stang22]

I hear ya man. You will want to get a set of C/C plates ASAP so the front suspension can be setup and aligned properly. Take care,

Looks like im going with the D&D kit. The HPM's look pretty much the same, but they require drilling the spindle hole bigger, so i'm not going to bother.

 

[stang22]

One thing I forgot... Most of these kits will require you to drill a bigger hole in your spindle for the bump steer kit to work. It's a piece of cake, but you will need a drill press. There are a few kits out there that you do not have to do this with, but just ask the manufacturer and they should be able to let you know.

Yep found that out

I just torqed my spindles back on after i replaced the balljoints! I think the D&D kit does not require drilling of the spindle. We'll see.

 

[Mavrick]

Turns out the D&D kit DOES require drilling of the spinlde. As i have already ordered it, looks like thats what im going to do.

Any chances i can do this with the spindle still on the car? I just finished torquing it down on the balljoint, and putting the brakes/struts on etc!!!

 

[stang22]

Jeff,

You will need a drill press to drill a bigger hole in those spindles. If you are going to put new springs on, most of that stuff up front will be ready to come off. Unfortunately, a hand held drill does not have enough torque to drill through that metal.

Ok sounds good. I already got the springs in, with everything else.. ah well it won't take me more than 20 minutes to get it all off.. again.

Thanks,
