Hello all,
I found instructions from Elephant Racing on how to install rack bump steer kit but even they do not mention whether to put the front wheels on ramps or use jack stands and let the wheels drop and hang. So far, I have the front wheels on ramps; I loosened the steering shaft u-joint and was able to get one collar in place and the bolt threaded on the passenger side but cannot get the bolt threaded on the drivers side. Any other tips or suggestions? This is turning out to be much more difficult than I anticipated! Thanks! |

Also; What are the control arm and tie rod supposed to look like for good geometry... for the least amount of bump steer? For example; is the tie rod supposed to be angled upward, level or downward for least amount of bump steer. I guess I am trying to decide whether I even need the kit installed. |
