Bumpsteer ?

[Rob]

Thanks for the tips guys, I'll check into that.
I have caster adjusters installed, I'll see if I can find a site that explains how to measure / check it.
The damper is pretty much new, so that one should be ok, although I'll check it as well.

I checked the headlight buckets, but it doesn't look like it's rubbing there.

Sandeep, you gonna be at Pete's tomorrow to Pillage that super ? I'll be there around 1 PM. I don't think I'm up to driving the bug all the way out there tho... gotta build a bit more confidence first

Rob,

I had the same issues with my '72 super when i slammed it. Installed the tie-rod flip kit, to get the tierods back straight. Bumpsteer went away.

Yeah, Sandeep will be at my place at 1 too.

Well I found out what the problem was. Sandeep was closest

It turns out that the fenderlip is hitting the tire when the suspension is fully compressed.
My tires are sticking out from under the fenders a bit, and under full compression the fenderlip hits the outside of the tire.
I didn't think I'd have that much suspension travel left

Sooo, I took out the spacers, but that didn't help much, so I guess I'm gonna need to get me some wider fenders....
Anybody ever cut and 'rolled' Beetle fenders ?
I'm guessing they'd be pretty flimsy once you cut out the 'folded' section ?
