drop spindle bumpsteer
« on: August 27, 2009, 10:50:23 PM »
ive been searching since about 8, and havent found an answer.

will belltech 2 inch spindles induce greater bumpsteer than stock? if so, how much?

also, anyone have a pic of the steering arm on a 16 inch wheel? im wondering if it will clear like im thinking it will after the tall LBJ swap.

There will be no change in your front end geometry.  The only thing your are doing is moving up the wheel position relative to the spindle.  However the LBJ will affect the bumpsteer as you will move the spindle up relative to the LCA.

I didn't notice any bumpsteer on my blazer.. I used 3" drop LCAs, 2" drop spindles & BBC springs made for the truck.
If you can't say anything nice.. post it on the internet!

I have read about bumpsteer issues but that may just be bagged trucks with the severe amount of droop.
As for the tie rod to wheel clearance, the TBJ will have no affect.
