How to do Bump steer mod.
« on: March 19, 2015, 08:50:50 am »
In order to do the bump steer mod, the steering horns (where the tie rod end connects at the spindle) needs to be flip flopped from the left side to the right. They also will be flipped upside down. So instead of angling up they angle down. This will get the tie rod more parallel with the a arms. Here are some pictures to help everyone understand.

I have no idea but I hope this clears the air on the bump steer confusion.

I think this is pretty obvious on what has to happen.

Do I have to flip the tie rods up side down and also on the end of the steering stem or do I just bolt it all back up after flipping the horns like you did.

Just them bolt it back up like normal. Only difference is how these "horns" are facing instead of angled up they are angled down. to get even better steering one can also pick the camber shims up from Mitch, then you will have a very well handling LT.

So I did this mod. The bike Doesn't like to stay in a straight line. It's all over the place and follows grooves. I didn't ride it before doing the mod. I did notice the camber is positive And needs corrected. Do you guys think it's from the camber or the camber is part of it and it needs the toe too?

Once you do the mod you do need to re-adjust the steering settings for it to be correct.
