It's strange because the trend seems to be to 'fit' the blue steering to elimate bump steer whereas I'm 'removing' the blue steering to eliminate bump steer.
Yes would love to see some pics of your setup. Compared to Rob's car mine appears to have more castor angle  |
The blue steering won't eliminate bump steer as every time you change caster angle or camber it will afect the bump steer because you are changing arc pivot points and angles as the suspension compresses. The reason for adding bump steer spacers is to bring the steering back into the right point to suit the changed settings.
I have my front pivot block on the lower gearbox holes. With you using the upper holes to give more caster you have made a bigger height gap between the steering plate and trailing arms. Using the blue steering assembly will make the gap even bigger as it raises the steering plate even more and you don't want that. You have discoverd that using the black steering assembly it improves the bump steer as it lowers the inner steering ballstud, then you have turned the steering knuckles upside down and by doing that you have raised the outer steering link ballstud and you said that has improved the bump steer. Thats why i recommended putting the nylock nuts under the inner and outer ballstuds, make sure you have enough thread to screw into knuckle and steering plate though.
