Bump Steer Issues
Turbo Mini Forums

Ok

Over to the wisdom of you guys.

Katies Ministox has really bad bump steer, its a ministox running in clockwise direction, and is pretty much slammed on the subframe (bumpstop cut in half and sits on that) on what would be the left/passenger side and corner jacked high on the Right, negative camber is set at between 6-9 degrees depending on surface to try and stop it burning off the outside edge of the tyre as all the others are set.

its set with a little tow out 2-3mm.
It has adjustable tie and bottom arms. s discs 10" wolfrace 5 inch with 165 60 10 a08 on inside left, and 6x12 deep dish with 539 on outside right.

So the right steering arm is at a massive angle down and the track rod end is a lengthened one.

Looking at the steering rack to hub, it nearly needs the track rod end to come in from above but We are not allowed to fit rose joints which would enable this. A rose joint drill out the steering arm and fit it above would probably cure it.

Heating and bending the arm up?
Portapowering the top arm forward so it pushes the top balljoint forward and so pulls the steering arm heigher?

Any other thoughts?

are you saying one arm appears to have more of an offset in it then the other?

possibly not explaining it well a minstox only ever turns left and turns left flat out, so to get the weights right they corner jack the front right hand side right up and also put loads of negative camber on other wise tyre folds over and it scorches the sidewall. so driver side is nearly at highest position on hi lo, so rack is pointing down at nearly 45 degrees to the steering arm.
