Bump steer question

HemiDenny said
Most of us are well aware of adjusting bump steer by spacing the outer tie rod up/down (and in/out) on the steering arm or changing u/p , in /out location of the inner tie rod., however, I think your zero bump steer was only in your mind, especially with the amount of travel a dirt cars suspension sees. The only way zero bump steer would be possible all the way thru suspension travel is if the three arcs (UCA, LCA, tie rod) all have the exact same length / radius.....and that, my friend , does not exist in our Mopar street cars.

Exactly sir, well put.

I don't need a written report, I got one directly from my ***.....yes, I have driven both. The potholes on the Michigan interstates will yank the wheel right out of your hands.

The simple fact that California does not have the extreme temperature shift that the rust belt has means pavement, more importantly the base underneath does NOT shift around from the constant freezing and thawing like it does in Michigan. Then add the fact that more than a decade ago, Michigan voters removed their road taxes. Even the interstates were not maintained, yet alone the repair to any state or county roads.

Peace out, brother.

I've been to Detroit in the spring, I wasn't blown away by how bad the roads were. Don't get me wrong, they were bad. But not worse than I'd seen before. Maybe Michigan has worse road than what's in Detroit, but I kinda doubt it.

The simple fact of the matter is there are A LOT of places in California that see more snow than Michigan, and have temperature shifts that are just as extreme if not more. California is a BIG place, and it's not all beaches. Seems like it's a common misconception outside of California that it doesn't get cold here, or doesn't snow that much. Well, that's BS. Tamarack, Ca actually has the record for the highest recorded snow depth in the US at 451".

I don't know where you've been, but I will say if you spent time in the richer/tourist-y places you probably found the roads pretty nice. If you went anywhere else, like over the summit on I80, then you'd probably have a different experience.

Remember bud, we ski AND surf in California. Peace out indeed!
