Question Bumpsteer.....

Hi All....

Really starting to get to grips with the cars setup now. Sorted out my creaky suspension and set Camber & toe better now (approx 0.5 - 1 deg of neg camber works well on each wheel, rear wheels set slightly toe in (1mm combined) and front wheels ever so slightly toe out (0 - 0.5mm). Also ride height now set at approx 145 - 150mm below chassis rails and the damper rates set right down (6/7 clicks in only)...tyres at 17lbs.

Set like this gives a good ride (not too harsh) but lets you have enough fun as well when you push it!

....but I do seem to suffer a little from bumpsteer...particularlyon uneven road surfaces......

Any ideas on the height the track rod ends needs to be set at to minimise this?

Rich
