bumpsteer - 11/12/2006 10:24:19 PM    thejucer   Posts: 7 Joined: 7/24/2006 Status: offline I have a v6 06 and I used to have an 01 sts that would handle very well. I know it is a rough comparison and I would think the mustang would have an edge in terms of handling, but going around corners at highspeeds if I hit a bump or something in the road my steering wheel loses control for a split second, I think this is called bump steer. What can I do to stop this from happening... realistically and inexpensively... or atleast an explanation... Post #: 1

It corrects the geometry of the rack and pinion steering rods connecting to the spindles on a lowered car. < Message edited by powerProdigy -- 11/18/2006 9:16:55 PM > (in reply to thejucer) Post #: 2
