when installing mm k-member, coil overs, a-arms. I installed everything, but didnt do the bumpsteer, I just left the old one in there. Here are some pictures of how it looks, I dont understand why they say its required to get an aftermarket bumpsteer kit. Can you show me anything that is wrong with the way these line up or anything at all, I dont really know what bumpsteer kit does, or how its any different from the stock one.

the bump steer kit moves your tie rods parallel to your lower A arms. this keeps them moving at the same rate, thus not changing the toe as your suspension travels up and down.

look at the angle on your tie rods when the suspension is loaded and not drooped like all the pics. you will see the difference
