Default Bump steer

Dear all,

One of my next tasks is to look into eradicating the bump steer on the front axle. It's very clearly there, but the effect has been reduced by fitting stiffer springs, and thus using less of the travel when pottering along.

Rather than reinvent the wheel, I'm hoping someone has already had a crack at resolving the bump-steer, and would like to share experiences. By which I mean, what did you adjust to get the best result.

My current plan is to start by measuring the toe change through as much of the suspension travel as I can (deck height of my jack will limit this, though I do plan to raise the wheels first). I'm then going to move the hub steering arm gradually through its arc, and see what improvent this yeilds (if anything!).

Any thoughts / experience, people can offer will be good to read.

Cheers,

John.
