@davidnunn posted:Mike is correct when he said that this is a lot of effort to go to, without really knowing if you have a bump steer issue. You should start off with the rack spacers, then go from there.
Also, my issue with the Speedway stud has nothing to do with spacers vs nuts to locate the rod end. If you do indeed need to move the rod end higher on the stud, do you really want it acting on a threaded portion? Eventually, the threads will be crushed and the result will be slop in the steering.
As an aside, years ago, Gary Walker (Comp2) told me the Pantera’s steering rack is too long to ever have zero bump steer.
I have no argument with anyone here. Maybe we can persuade Bosswrench to post some pictures or details of the stud that works best?
I can't say that the rod end is going to need to be raised to the threaded portion of the stud so only someone who has actually done this could answer this.
I'm sure that more then one person has but I only have the Boss to ask for that information.
Measuring the toe in/toe out changes during suspension changes in the front is also cumbersome to say the least AND changing spring and shock rates may make the changes at maximum travel up/down almost irrelevant?
David. If the rod end needs to possibly be shimmed up with spacers, how can it be kept off of the threads? That isn't possible without a specifically machined stud, but that would remove the possibility of adjustment, up or down?
