Dan, can you elaborate a tad on the factory deficiencies that have been remedied?

Camber change, bump steer, compliance, etc? I noticed you have extra bracketry with your arms but would like a little detail on how those are benefitting the system.


Not a problem! We've covered it a few times in discussion on this forum, so I'm going to cheat a bit and do a copy/paste from our site smile

How does the geometry corrected arm work?

The A-Arm pivot bracket we provide is part of our solution for reducing bumpsteer. The stock upper A-Arm configuration has such a steep inner pivot angle. This causes the caster to change rapidly as the suspension travels up and down causing excessive spindle geometry-point movement. Our new pivot location reduces this caster change and allows the upper lower and steering arms to translate more harmoniously throughout its travel. This change in conjunction with our steering tie rods help minimize unwanted bumpsteer. In addition the upper arms themselves have more negative camber and more positive caster built into them to maximize tire contact patch while cornering."
