Is anyone using these tie rod ends from Baer? According to Baer they work with stock spindles to correct bumpsteer. It seems like if a guy was already committed to a suspension package with stock spindles, tall balljoints with a hub brake package, this might be a nice product to go with instead of selling all of your stuff and buying AFX spindles?

Nick, those bump steer kits have been around since the 1970s. They allow you to adjust bump steer but not necessarily to fix it. ;) In the case of A body GM cars the fix has to move the outer tie rod ends upward. Rod end bump steer kits are great at moving the tie rod end pickup point downward but to put it where it really needs to be the steering arms themselves are where we need the tie rod ends to be so basically, we can`t get there from here. You mentioned folks already committed to stock spindles and a tall ball joint package. Our Stage 2-Plus tall ball joint package already has the bump steer correction built it so no additional steering parts are necessary. You`re already GTG. :)
