bump steer on 2.2 auto...

[C_A_D88]

So ever since I put on my tc rims and rubber I've been experiencing some mad bump steer, as that's what I assume it is, car pulls everywhere on uneven or bumpy roads. So I know the solution for a manual tranny is rotated mounts and rack spacers. And the rotated mounts arnt made for the auto tranny if I'm correct, so my question is can I just install the rack spacers and be done with it? I asked john he doesn't seem to know , so just wondering if any ones done it.

I'm riding on tc shocks and struts, pedders springs , hardcore bar, stock contis, fe5 control arms with powells cabs, with powergrid endlinks.

Had john do an alignment last week or so

i think john would have to take a look at it.

Damn, was just trying to avoid taking a trip out there just for this, has no one else had this issue, or had this issue resolved on an auto? I know how to resolve it on a manual lol, I'll get under ther car today to see if there's any room for the rack to be moved up I guess

Bump steer is not the car following the ruts in the road

This is normal when you are running larger sized tires and there's no real way to get rid of it.

Get big brakes and be lowered, then talk to me about bump steer

As Steddy said, the car pulling on uneven or bumpy roads is not bump steer. Its tire related lead/pull. Did john set your toe or do a full alignment? If just the toe was set you may want to have a full alignment check done to see if your camber is out of spec, especially if you have used components in your fe5 swap. Once that checks out okay you're most likely just going to need to get used to the new handling characteristics of wider low profile tires. Your new wheel/tire combo is also quite a bit heavier than stock 15s yif that's what you had) and there's no real way to change the difference in feel.

Just an update to this thread, I bought an 09 LNf and thru the same suspension in it as I had in my
Lt, the handling in my lt was totally different then my LNf now, lt would pull all
Over the place and my LNf doesn't, same suspension, same tires
