Bump steer question

In my situation I needed to move the outer up or inner down. Both those changes move the tie rod end downward on the stud.

Problem was there was no adjustment left on the stud that direction. I’m already at the bottom of the stud.



Yes, I could keep going and get more adjustment. Shim the steering box and slot the idler is one way.

This happened in our circle track car sometimes we had an adjustable Joes centerlink. So we could move the whole centerlink up or down to give all kinds of adjustment range. Then there’s adjustable idlers. And it was a fab clip so things were manipulated from the start.

I was close and I quit. Because I planned on other repairs and changes. Those would likely change the bump steer and I’d have to start again.

Need/want to change:
Spherical rod ends
Ball Bearing insert idler
Borgensen steering box
Steering box Sector support kit (shouldn’t have an effect)


O.K. so you need to move the steering arm up.
