Hey guys. Ran into a bump steer issue with my car and would like to correct it because it’s quite scary. I’ve been reading a lot on the issue but I’m not quite understanding how to correctly install a kit and adjust it.
My car has a 1.5” drop. I have a MM solid steering rack kit installed, MOOG inners and moog outters installed. Do I remove the outters and install the bump steer kit with spacers to match so it fits correctly under load? Will my local mustang speed shop adjust the spacers correctly during alignment or how does that work? I want to install it so I can get it to my alignment shop safely but also want to understand what they are having to do to correct it. I also have CC plates if that helps.
Additionally do you guys recommend a certain brand or will a house brand like SVE get me where I need to be? I’m all for going name brand if the benefit is justified. For some reason my mind isn’t wrapping completely around how bump steer kits work totally.
For the record my bump steer used to be horrible when it was aligned by a non-speed shop. This was many years ago. Once I had a mustang speed shop do it it was so much better. The car used to steer itself when hitting small bumps and hard braking but not so much after getting a proper alignment. Now it’ll do it sometimes on really bad roads and slightly under hard braking but to me the shop would tell me during the alignment process if I need it but I don’t know if they can gauge it? I saw MM makes a machine. Am I better off doing this whole thing myself with MM’s machine?
