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! |

Have you lowered the car significantly?
Have you raised the spindles? Are the tie rods no longer level? Do you feel bump steer now? Are you adding rack spacers? |

Have you lowered the car significantly? Have you raised the spindles? Are the tie rods no longer level? Do you feel bump steer now? Are you adding rack spacers? I do need to measure it. Std is around 25 inches from fender lip to ground intersecting center of the wheel? I have not raised the spindles. That is what I am asking... should the tie rods be level? How does one check this? I feel the wheel 'jerk' when I go over bumps... straight or in corners. I am trying to add rack spacers but do not really know if they are needed. |
