Bumpsteer....

[SprintStar]

I roughly know what it is, but how do I tell if I got it?

On my '03, I run a 944 front end, meaning I got the brakes and struts off a 944. The tie-rods are VW items and they are mounted bottom-up on the Porsche spindle instead of the usual top-down VW way.

Will that give me bump steer? I've got less then 1/2" between the fender and tire, so you get an idea of how low the car is.

What happens is that I find the steering wheel moving to the road sometimes. Is that bumpsteer or just a steering damper gone bad?

How do I check if my damper is good still?

Is the only solution to put a bumpsteer kit on those BEAUTIFUL spindles? Seems like a waste as people put bumpsteer kits to correct lowered Bugs and I have to reverse it to get rid of it... Sigh....

Thanks for any help.

Sprint.
