Thread: F-u bump steer!

Pics? Says it takes about 15 mins, so you should be done with one side by now...

Installing was easy adjustment was alil frustrating. But my "boss" was rushing me.
"Tip" for b13's thread the black sleeve all the way into the helm joint end before u install. My alignment was crazy out before I got it on the rack. I gotta get back on the rack to do some more adjustments and ill take some pics.

Still have some bumpsteer but not as bad as before. But the real treat is how precise the steering is now!

I installed mine today. Getting the 9 month old moog tie rod ends out was a major pain in the ass. The tie rod end separator tool wouldn't get it, so i had to use a big ass sledgehammer to pop the bolt from underneath out on one side after i completely destroyed the outer tie rod end. The instructions are pretty good except for the "three good whacks on the spindle" part because that obviously wasn't the case for me, hah! Haven't driven the car yet but I did notice the steering felt 'tighter'. Will be taking it in for a front end alignment tomorrow.

I like to use a ball joint fork on them. Never had an issue getting any stuck ball joint or tie rod end off anything. I got my set while I was home but it wont be going on till I get back in August. Very nice pieces though. Although mine wont be used for any normal driving really or road racing, it should do what I want in making the steering a lot tighter for drag purposes and eliminate any flex or movement that the oem end links cause. So that was my reasoning behind the purchase.

I used a ball joint fork and a tie rod fork, no dice. Eventually, the whole tie rod end just popped off and left nothing but the bolt with a shiny, metal ball exposed on top of the spindle. That's when I went to the hardware store and bought a 40$, 6lb sledgehammer and got it out with a few good whacks to the bolt from underneath. I'd never seen anything like it, it was nuts. After that, installation was pretty straight forward.

No tie rod fork here...it forks them up...LOL
I usually flip the nut over and put it back on until the bolt is ALMOST exposed.This keeps you from forking up the threads.
Whack the nut a couple times straight on,whack the knuckle a couple times from the side and it will fall out.
This works with balljoints and tierods the same

Back on topic...I gotta get a set of these.

I just give the knuckle a few wacks with a bf hammer

Eggman, I tried it your way a few times and no luck. I always ended up needing the damn fork to separate them in the end. I have my set, it will be a bit till I get it installed.
