I have a Mk3.1, SN95 spindles, Fox body power rack. I installed the offset aluminum rack bushings (in orientation recommended on this forum - maybe they should be adjusted), FFR rack arm extenders installed, FFR tubular LCAs, and FFR adjustable UCAs with the SAI relocation kit installed.
I have driven it for a couple years now, feels great.
I have tracked the car many times and it feels great to me, but I knew I have a bump steer issue. I had a TransAm Series driver take it out at Autobahn CC and he could feel the bump steer in the corners.
I can easily see the toe changing when I jack up the front end.
I bought a high quality bump steer kit to fix it. So I got out my Longacre bump steer gauge last night, I'm changing toe about .200" per 1/2 inch of suspension travel, pretty drastic!
The tie rod end mounts to the underside of the spindle mount. I installed the new bump steer kit tie rod ends, only to find about the same amount of bump steer as the stock rod ends with no spacers, only to get WORSE as I added spacers. Which leads me to believe that the proper rod end location is at or even above the spindle mount location! But this is a tapered fitting so I'm stuck below the spindle mount unless I modify something... Is there a non-tapered option that is safe?
Anyone have a (hopefully easy) fix for this?
Thanks for any help!
