I put Turbo tie rods on awhile ago and haven't driven her too much until I can get the U-tabs welded on and install my front sway bar. Then off to get an alignment.
I lowered the front and took a drive today. She was bouncing all over the place. Is this Bump Steer? I took a drive prior to lowering and she did not bounce like this. Does anyone have a bump steer kit they want to sell me? Please let me know. Thanks for the help. |

The bouncing is dead shocks, or shocks unable to deal with the new ride height and/or spring rate. Most likely.
Bump-steer is where the steering wheel wants to yank itself out of your hands when you go over a bump with the front wheels. Technically, it has to do with the change in toe angle as the suspension compresses, but the symptoms are that the car steers itself and tries to pull the wheel out of your hands when going over a bump. --DD |
