Cycling the front suspension showed a good amount of bump steer in the factory setup, so they built the BSD tie rod kit to remove it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWHY REMOVE BUMP STEER\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat bump steer is:\u003c\/strong\u003e bump steer is a change in toe (the fronts of the tires moving closer together or farther apart) as the front suspension moves through its travel. The best setup has as close to zero toe change as possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it matters:\u003c\/strong\u003e if your toe changes over every bump, it is like turning the steering wheel slightly on every hit. Shock Therapy calls bump steer one of the biggest contributors to steering wheel feedback, twitchy handling, extra front-end wear and tired forearms from holding the machine straight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the kit does:\u003c\/strong\u003e it relocates the outer tie rod pivot point, which changes the front-end geometry to remove the bump steer. The machine is easier to drive, steer and control, drives more predictably and is easier on front-end parts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePatented BSD geometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e relocates the outer tie rod pivot point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt for the factory A-arms:\u003c\/strong\u003e designed around the factory arm configuration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDETAILS - PLEASE READ\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasure bump steer before you install this kit.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is designed to fix the geometry of the factory A-arm setup; every aftermarket A-arm setup produces a different amount of bump steer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe factory machine has no alignment adjustment other than toe; caster and camber cannot be adjusted.
