Make sense?




i agree with the above. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
bump steer is there in the stock suspension, like it or not.
it isn't too bad if factory alignment specs are used, but when you start to use useful specs out of the factory range [especially caster] bump steer shows up quickly.
the DC and MP chassis books show how to correct this, and if you have these books, read up on the procedures and fix your situation. it's relatively easy to do. [in my opinion]
if you don't have these books, or access to them, they are a worthwhile investment.[again, my opinion]
