MMM ... 1965 Mustang Bumpsteering Issue ... MMM

Hi,


I'm experiencing something call bumpsteering ( front-end swaying when hits bump )


I've tried to find a true correction practice but seems like I'm hitting the wall.


Any advices / experiences sharing are appreciated.

relocating the upper arms and moving the steeringarm mount will make a world of difference.. (first link)

The cheaper kit doesnt quicken the steering, or fix the suspension geometry.. but it cures bumpsteer (but wears fast)

Hi Deuce,


Thanks much !


I may try with the cheaper kit.

The Wear-fast is to what part ? The naked ball joint ?


Appreciated it.


Cheers,



GM.

correct.. the naked balljoint will wear faster than you think... and every time it does you need to get it realligned, so the joy of the lower price may well be eclipsed by the aggravation of having bought an inferior product but it depends on how much you use the car and what your budget is.. i mean there is no point in getting a cool suspension gizmo if it means you cant put gas in the car..

i can really recommend mustangsplus by the way, and their suspension packages allong with the upper arm relocation kit ..(the relocation is THE most impressive mod you can do to a mustang... it changes the cambergain from positive to negative... and totally changes the front suspension characteristics from a mid 60ies so-so handling car, into a cornercarver...!)
.. will change your car into somthing you want to drive every day...
