Re: Bad bump steer, how to tell?

Hit a bump, and the car darts left or right. Mine never did it unless i was going fairly fast, ie highway driving, and only after i lowered it.

Corrected with baer tie rod ends. You can adjust the center of the rod so it rides higher or lower on the pin. Only thing with them is the spherical rod ends wear out quickly. Mine lasted about 1 year of street use and needed to be replaced. Same with the new ones i bought. Finally just went back to a standard tie rod.
