Bump Steer Adjust

Postby blueg33 » Sat Feb 16, 2013 4:33 pm

My new rims have a slightly lower offset than the originals and i seem to have added a tiny bit of bump steer.

I recall Chris Rabbetts telling me that there is a bump steer adjutment built into the rack/rack mounts.

Can any one tell me where it is and what it looks like? Plus if the offset is lower, does the rack need to go up or down?

Cheers

.
Nick,

It's not in the rack mount, but at the track rod end mounting bush at each hub - threaded bush for height adjustment with a taper socket for the track rod end . These usually seize in the hub arm... CLee did have some made up, so worth asking in case yours don't budge without some grief being applied. Effectively you want the track arms back to level with the deck when the suspension is normally loaded.

Hope that helps.
