Experts-come inside
OK, as we all know I am the new suspension information sponge. I have scoured the net and am at a loss as to how to adjust bump steer. I know what it is and how to measure, but how do you adjust it out? I have adjustable outer tie rods, adjustable center link and a torch (just kidding). My understanding about the tall spindle swap is part of the problem is the tie rods become "too long", in other words the distance between the center link hole for the inner tie rod and the spindle hole for the outer tie rod becomes longer. If I have the ability to shorten that distance, how do I determine what to adjust in the steering linkage to obtain zero bump? Is it just trial and error or is there a method, like tuning, adjust timing first then dial in fuel.
My thoughts were to try and start by putting the distance back to stock with the drum spindles then move the ends up/down and measure change. Is starting with the steering linkage parallel to the LCA a good place to start (happens to be parallel with the ground). Thanks in advance to "the group".
