Bump steer question

brian6pac said

In the stock car world we got the camber where ever we needed it for the track, got the caster where ever we needed it, and the toe and we always got 0 bump steer. We did it be shimming the outer tie rod up or down. It's not that hard if you do it alot like every race day, the car always got hit, jammed into the wall or something. You learn how to do it. So you guys that say it can't be done are wrong. It is a lot harder with tapered tie rod ends but with hiem joints its a lot easier.

Most of us are well aware of adjusting bump steer by spacing the outer tie rod up/down (and in/out) on the steering arm or changing u/p , in /out location of the inner tie rod., however, I think your zero bump steer was only in your mind, especially with the amount of travel a dirt cars suspension sees. The only way zero bump steer would be possible all the way thru suspension travel is if the three arcs (UCA, LCA, tie rod) all have the exact same length / radius.....and that, my friend , does not exist in our Mopar street cars.
