how much bumpsteer is too much?

[Markus]

Hello guys,

i installed today the tcp bump steer correction kit on my 67. I have checked the toe in and out with 2 inch compression and 2 inch rebound.
Without spacer on the corrector i measured 0.3 inch toe in @ 2 inch compression and 0.55 inch toe out @ 2 inch rebound.
With 0.75 spacer i measured near zero toe @ 2 inch compression and 0.24 inch toe out @ 2 inch rebound.
Can i leave this?
The rest of my suspension is complete new. Opentracker upper roller arm with 1 inch drop, Opentracker lower roller arm, Opentracker idler arm, Opentracker roller perches, street or track adjustable struts, spax adjustable shocks, 620 pound springs (cut 1/2 curl), new inner tie rods and manual steering.
I can not take a ride now because it´s snowing here.

many thanks in advance

Markus

you are about as close as possible with stock suspension geometry. the biggest issue is the bump part not the rebound number, as that is what causes the biggest problems. you should be measuring though at 3 and 4 inches of travel also as that is where the worst of the bump steer shows up and causes the most instability.

If the front suspension travels 4 inches, he's off-roading somewhere!

2 inches is fine as that will cover at least 95% of the real world driving cases.

Hi guys,

thank you
I check the bump steer almost to 3 inch compress and rebound. compressed suspension the bumpsteer is also near zero and @rebound i measured 0.3 inch bumpsteer.
