Bump Steering is a term used to describe when a vehicle hits uneven or rough surfaces and causes the car to wander or become darty. What causes that? Basically, if the tie rods and the lower control arms are not the same length and parallel to each other when the suspension travels up and down they will be traveling at a different radius from each other. This causes the alignment to toe in and toe out as the suspension moves, causing the car to wander and dart while on rough surfaces – which is annoying and dangerous!
Every Steeroids Rack & Pinion kit comes with adjustable tie rod ends allowing you to fine tune the angle of your tie rod to match the angle of the lower control arm – helping eliminate bump steer. So yes, ANY rack and pinion will make your car’s steering tighter, but some rack and pinion conversion kits on the market actually make the car’s bump steer worse than it was from the factory because they do not understand bump steer! Steeroids kits not only make your steering feel tighter – they actually make your car handle better too!
