Take a look at octotat's two pictures. Here is his bump-steer kit installed in the OEM position:





Here is his kit installed in the bump-steer correction position, designed for lowered cars. Lowering the mounting point (below the knuckle in this case) really helps prevent most or all of the additional bump-steer introduced by lowering the car. Notice how the angle of the lower control arm and the angle of the outer tie rod end are almost identical (leaving the two pieces almost perfectly parallel).




Now look at your installation:




Do you see the problem now?
Notice how your installation point is even higher than stock?
Notice how your lower control arm and the outer tie rod are not close to parallel?

I actually think that if you work with the hardware you have, you might be able to install your setup in the same way octotat has his (under the knuckle). Assuming that your shank has a 7 degree (?) taper to it or whatever OEM is...

unless someone has measured the difference using by measuring actual bumpsteer I wouldn't take anything as rule. your setup seems fine to me. someone try different setups and measure the bumpsteer then we will all know for sure.. any stock car shop or shop that deals with racing chassis can measure for you

Do not listen to the man above me. I know you've completely borked your bump-steer.
