Bumpsteer Kits

What is a bumpsteer kit? Why buy one?

If you have lowered your vehicle you may encounter a negative side effect with your vehicle’s handling known as bumpsteer. Bumpsteer occurs when your tie rod angles become too severe from lowering your ride’s suspension. As the lowered suspension moves through its normal arc the tie rods tug on the hubs causing the wheels to turn. When this happens at high speed it can cause the car to feel loose and out of control. Bumpsteer kits address this handling issue by correcting the tie rod geometry so that it mimics the OEM angles and thus reduces bumpsteer. Once you have driven a car with a bumpsteer kit you will never want to go back. Take it from us, the handling and tracking difference is like night and day. We highly recommend purchasing these kits at the same time you lower your ride for maximum safety and control.

Did You Know?:

As a vehicle's suspension moves through its arc of travel it can cause the toe-in/toe-out to change slightly. When a vehicle is lowered the amount that the wheel turns as the suspension is compressed is magnified and causes the scary effect we know as bump steer. There are several ways to fix this problem from changing to modified tie rod ends to utilizing custom ball joints. No matter which method you prefer, bump steer kits are absolutely essential for any lowered vehicle, especially if you have performance on your mind. If you want your lowered vehicle to handle like it should, be sure to pick up one of these kits.
