      skeptical? that's to bad Im just pointing out changes that happen to the car as things are done
      heres a picture of the steering arm and control arm configuration on the car



      by lowering the upper control arm pivot points by .75 inch. This raises the front suspension roll center from below ground level, to a point well above the road. This will reduce the angle of the lower control arms and make them more parallel to the ground, giving you a more favorable camber curve. The new holes will also move the top of the spindle rearward .25 inch from stock. This will create more positive caster, which will make the steering feel more "snappy.



      about the bumpster reduction, that's simple to understand, the Guldstrand mod moves the arm on 2 axis 1 is rearward, which rotates the steering arm downward and reduces bumpsteering just like putting a longer tie rod end kit
