Bump Steer Arms AE86

[The Big Yin]

I swapped some stuff I was selling for these bump steer arms a while ago and have never got round to fitting/attempting to fit them

never really seen there like before.

Problem I have is I have no fitting instructions for them nor do I know how to set them up lol has anyone else seen them and no how to fit and set them up?

info from the guy

The problem of bump steer may well be a thing of the past



A few details.

The turn buckles are made from T6 aircraft grade ally £££ believe me :wack:

The pins are made from EN16 Steel. Hard as fcuk!

The spacers are made from stainless, no rusting. They are 2mm, 4mm, 6mm, 8mm and 10mm to allow as much adjustment as you could possibly need :thumbs:

I'll supply the nylocs for the pins.

I've had lock nuts made for the steering arms but will not supply the rose joints to allow you to buy a grade that you see fit. The rose joints required are left hand thread 1/2 inch unf with 1/2 hole. I got mine from Racers Hardware at Peterboro, they were £25 each, they are used on F1 and F2 stock cars so figured they should be up to the job, plus if they fcuk up they aren't an arm and a leg to replace.

NB: I have had these made, these are NOT off the production line cheap and nasty crap. They have been made by an engineer who has 40+ years experience turning. The finish is out of this world!

waiting for him to get back to but just wanted to see if anyone else had seen them

I've seen them before (in another thread on here actually) but theyd be the last thing i put in my car. Although the ones youve had made are more than likely stronger, they are in my mind a very scary modification that ill be steering well clear of (no pun intended)

Some RCA's would be a much better option.

just done a google search and came up with these

Outer Tie Rod End
Lowering your vehicle to the point where sparks fly from your chassis might look cool, but the more you slam your car, the more out of whack your suspension becomes. The Ueo Style outer tie rod moves with the suspension, creating the correct geometry for a lowered car. Bump steer is affected when you lower a vehicle on factory tie rods. Ueo Style tie rod ends allow dual adjustments of up to 20mm of toe setting and correction, as well as the ability to adjust the steering angle by 20mm. The pillow-ball mount ends on the Ueo Style tie rod end not only replace the worn factory bushings but also returns bump steer to an acceptable level while increasing the lock-to-lock steering angle. This is a must when drifting.

Don't believe everything you read, specifically:

...as well as the ability to adjust the steering angle by 20mm

Outer tie rod ends have ZERO effect on the available steering angle. Unless you have clearance issues.

Only the 'inner' tie rods with the built in 5mm spacer on each side make a difference in steering angle (and only a total of 10mm additional movement to the rack - not the 20mm these guys are talking about). I ran into this same mis-quote on another shops site when I was looking at tie-rod ends and after careful questioning the parts guy I was talking to opened a box only to find out it is 10mm total, not per side .

Also, you'd be better off with RCA's or NCRCA's which correct the control arm alignment, they also affect bump steer as they space between the steering knuckle & strut. (+ ueo/nams rod ends are 2-piece and crap IMO. You need a good strong 3-piece design for longevity/strength/streetability.)

Um, no. I wouldn't be fitting anything like those either. I can just see them shearing off in a pot hole!
There is a good chance that they may increase bump steer if they don't align with the LCA correctly.
They also do nothing to combat the altered roll centre height on a lowered car and, if used in conjuction with RCA blocks, I'm tipping the steering geometry turns to shit.

Careful measurement/experimentation required before I'd change the outside height of my rack end in relation to the LCA.
