      Bump steer question.

      I've been building up my front subframe on my 2nd gen 79 TA. I'm wondering if I will run into bump steer issues and should purchase the baer tracker tie rods or equivalent brand because of the additional camber/toe. urrently whats on/going on the subframe:


      Global west G-plus upper control arm w/ del-a-lum bushings
      Global west G-plus lower control arm w/ del-a-lum bushings (coil over)
      QA1 coil overs
      AGR 12:1 fast ratio steering box
      Stock spindles
      Larger sway bar
      Either 18 or 17" wheels



      Thanks

      Not a question that can be answered without first measuring or plotting bump steer on your car. Bump Steer kits are only worth it if the car actually has bump steer issues.

      Second gens have toe in on bump, it isn't nearly as bad as toe out. You can correct it a lot by just raising the idler & steering box where they bolt to the frame using the slop in the mounting holes, but you need to measure toe hanged to get it right.
