Vettes have bad bump much beyond 1" to 1.5" of travel. On a race car you really never get there as it tends to be so stiff so I will likely not have a real issue. It is a notorious problem on lowered Vettes as guys will drop the cars by backing off the ride height screws - nothing gets relocated and essentially the car is now riding around at say 1" of bump as nominal. Now when they hit a bump and have 1" of motion, it is more like 2" of motion on a stock height Vette and the tires steer quite a bit.

It just drives me a little nuts to have bumpsteer in the car even if I will likely never experience it I moved the pivot point around a lot with adjustable bars I fabbed up as I was measuring the bump (starting with the pivot point exactly in line with the LCA inner pivot) and where it is now I have up to around 1.5" of bump looking pretty good now, but I know I could cut that arm off of the spindle and relo it and essentially get zero bump over 3" of motion. Is what is as they say.

Sounds like a great idea... of course that means all three of us have to actually finish
