Default Extreme bump steer

Don't need advice on the tie rod ends guys, but learnt a lot tonight swapping attachment and seeing what it did.

Comments and advice I previously recall all fell into place when I changed the tie rods around. I noted how the steeing rack was level with the lower wishbone pivot and how the tie rods located correctly, replicate the angle made by the lower wishbone.

Once done properly, any lift or compression of the front suspension didn't cause the wheels to toe in or out.

Clearly I had bump steer extreme until this correction.

Strange how the builder's manual doesn't say a word about such an important issue.

Anyway all sorted - for now - and many thanks to those that contributed to my learning curve on front suspension.

Cheers
