Well right after I put in the Ford B springs and KYB shocks the car seemed to ride just fine. That is until the springs settled. The car rode like crap until i finally put in some offset rack bushings and it moved the tie rods up a bit. It did help with the bump steer but seemed to let the suspension compress more and smooth out the ride. Does this make sense? Could the tie rods have been causing the suspension to bind a bit? If so then that was worth the time to put the bushings in! What about the tie rod ends with the longer shaft? Will these help more?
