yeah it would.
I eliminated the bump steer and it looks better than factory!

I used Black AE B44 ball studs - these are lower than kit items so lower the height.. these on their own are direct replacements (use an imperial thread so you need an imperial nut on the link) and reduce bump steer. To get rid of the remaining bump steer I used a woodwork drill bit - the sort with a centre spike.
The spike sits in the hole on the steering knuckle and you slowly drill down until the main body of the drill bit starts carving out a perfect hole in the steering knuckle. Of course I used a drill bit which was identical diameter to the shoulder of the B44 ball stud.
My B44 ball studs now sit flush with the top of the steering knuckle and have material all round the stud to support it. Super neat and works perfectly.


sorry, I am really proud of my handywork!
