I notice that my car has alot of bumpsteer when i am pushing her.Hitting small bumps and divits causes her to dive in anydirection.

I notice it especially on a curve.

Not since I installed the Steeda bumpsteer kit. It did the job that it was meant to do.

Nothing you can really do about it. Blame the SRA suspension.

Bumpsteer describes toe changes during suspension travel. How do you come to conclusion that non-zero bump is due to the rear suspension? I know in many ways the front and rear suspension are linked, but I thought bumpsteer was limited to front end geometry.

Not saying you're wrong, I'm always trying to learn more about suspension, so I'm curious to understand your comment.


Thanks,

I am assuming that the original poster is refering to the rear suspension and incorrectly using the term bumpsteer. Bumpsteer is a change in toe angle when the suspension is compressed and decompressed. Basically, the suspension is making minor adjustments without the drivers input. I haven't noticed this in my 05.

What I think the original poster was referring to is the unsettling feeling the SRA brings when hitting mid-corner bumps. The rear end feels loose and unstable when corning hard. I have noticed this in my 05.

here is a good article I found regarding bumpsteer and how to fix it. Also, I would be interested in hearing how the SRA is at fault for this one. I was scratching my head when I heard that one. Still don't follow that reasoning, but anyhow here's the link. It's on the right side of the page.
