this bump steer... I understand you can get a bumpsteer kit ( rod ends ,longer bolts and spacers) and offset rack bushings.... wich is better? pro's/cons of each... and what did saleen do to solve it on his cars? my car has eibach sportlines btw.
how much is your car lowered? do you have caster/camber plates? Also your not going to want offset rack bushings.
Taken from Maximum Motorsports website:
"We don't recommend offset rack bushings for stock K-Members...
Offset steering rack bushings move the rack far too much on stock K-Members, and make an acceptible situation far worse than if you had done nothing at all."
well they are eibach sportlines... I'd say about 2 inches. those offset bushings don't appear to be able too offset the rack more than 2 inches... just doesn't seem possible. anyone have them on their car?
Sadly, this forum gets like next to zero for traffic, but it is posted in Talk and not Tech.
Yes, you will want caster camber plates, unless you like to buy tires. I HIGHLY recommend getting a bumpsteer kit. It does make a world of difference and if you saw the difference in the tie rod angles before and after, you would do it without question. Stock Saleens didn't see a terrible amount in drop height, but I can garuntee work was done in the bumpsteer dept.
Also, I would recommend a decent adjustable shock. In all honesty, will all the tricks it'll be really fun to drive, and handle 'decent' from a roadcourse/opentrack standpoint. You will need to go to a tubular K member with the different pickup points to really get the car to run with vettes etc.
i was wondering the exact same as he was . i know i need cc's but the offset bushings and bump steer kit was what i needed info on. thanks 4 all the info
