So if we look at what we got for our Bump Steer on the Front ....... it's Not acceptable......

We go from .348" In on 2.5" of bump to ....... .165" out on 2.5" of droop.......

That's .513" of movement that the wheel will steer in 5" of travel...... .... That's a Half Inch of movement.....

The best way to describe this is ...... your going down a road and you hit a bump..... and without you moving the steering wheel....the car changes lanes..... If it's a right hand turn and you hit a bump.... you drive into the ditch..... or curb or something stupid..... and you didn't even turn the steering wheel.....

If you've ever had this happen to you ...it will wake you up instantly....and you'll wonder what's going on..... then you'll try it again....and it'll do it again and you'll know something is not right with the suspension...but you won't know just what that is.....

It can be caused by many different things....and we'll get into that later....

Here's the first set of numbers we got on the new Morris Uprights....
