Bump Steer Kits

[KIDAGIN]

My car is lowered and I am experiencing that so called bump steer on rough or uneven roads.
Do I need to get one of these kits installed and if so which one.
Any input would be appreciated.

Your car is at the level I'd expect it to be of little to no issue. Be interested to hear how it feels on new tires though, some are far more prone to following the ruts vs others. If it's better but still not right, perhaps a slightly different approach on your next alignment (hair more caster / zero toe). If it was mine, would try the above + perhaps a set of Maximum caster camber plates to properly adjust.

Hear ya Rick been waiting for tires to get here.
Does installing a bump steer kit call for an alignment?

[ZR]

Full alignment is done first.

Okay thanks it's tires, alignment and then bump steer.

I'd like to tag on a question here if I could. What if your car HAS a bump steer kit in it and you are raising it close to stock height? My car was slammed and since I'm not able to do an air ride kit like Kidagin (You lucky SOB, LOL!!!!) I am getting taller springs and such to bring my car back to a height that a 47 year old worn out beat up old man can handle (plus the wife said so). Should I remove it or leave it be? I'm not wanting to spend any more dough on parts I don't need, just curious as to thoughts on this.

Never a downside to using a bumpsteer kit provided it's properly set. Most install n eyeball then call it a day. Done properly, shimming comes down to very small increments. Time consuming and requires a good gauge.

Came pre-installed on my car, to me, the chance it was ever setup properly is less than the chance of winning the lottery, lol. ALOT of hacks touched my car before I got it.

In many cases, just a matter of installer not understanding the right procedure.

Okay thanks it's tires, alignment and then bump steer.

My moneys on you'll be happy after the first two.
Interested to hear your feedback on the Nitto's.
