Keep in mind it is a purpose built circle track car so I am not sure how much or how accurate a reading we would be able to get. That kit looks like cheap insurance to me to make sure your car is acting like it should 100% of the time.

This system can measure bump steer down to 0.001". The dial gauge is very accurate and you can definitley see small changes under suspension movement.
For me I wouldn't mess with bump steer on my car without this gauge. There is zero information on this subject for the Maximas so I have no idea what sized spacer I should use for the lowered suspension I have.
To defray the cost a friend of mine is going half on it with me but we have to adjust his Mustang Cobra with IRS. He has bump steer adjustable at all four corners and says it is in need of fine tuning even though he is running a recomended race tested aftermarket setup.
