Bumpsteer owns me
 
Damn i never noticed it till the last few days since i upgraded my brakes i take corners alot faster and you can feel the front tires doing what is know as Bump steer. Its pretty damn rediculous, so how do i go about fixing that, besides the obvious of a steeda or the like bumpsteer kit or is that all there really is to it.

You should get the balljoints as well. Mines pretty bad too and my tie rod ends squeek. Im just gonna get the maximum motorsports tierod kit and the steeda x2 balljoints.

Yeah it gets bad. I'm going with Steeda's x2 Balljoints and bumpsteer. Pretty cheap.

It's rediculous my car hits a divet or if theres a change in the roughness of the road I feel like the car drives itself.

some of that is probably tramlining from your tires too. Usually, higher performance tires tend to guide with whatever groves are in the road.

Yeah i have been looking over this and damn these stupid parts are soo exspensive.

MattJ 05-25-2007 06:56 AM

itll be 250. bumpsteer is 150 from maximum motorsports and the steeda x2 balljoints are 100.

first things first... you need to measure your bumpsteer to find out if it even needs correction.

What you may be feeling is the negative ackerman. As you go around a corner the outside front tire doesn't toe in as much as it should (this thanks to Ford compromise engineering). It ends up literally being dragged through the turn which will give a darty feeling to the steering... almost like tramlining taht MattJ mentioned (a very real issue) but it's more random as the tire grips and slips and jerks the car one way or another. One way to fix that is with a MM k-member and aluminum rack bushings, at the cost of more N/V/H.

I've seen more times than I care to recall drivers making up for that by wiggling the steering wheel a little all the way through the turn. I can't say that it's helpful but you never know.
