[QUOTE="zj96sc, post: 523619, member: 9335"] In general you will fight bump steer issues any time the drag link and track bar are different lengths and/or different angles. Both swing in an arc from the pitman or frame joint - the second those arcs are unequal (either through radius or angle) axle position will change relative to pitman position - ie bumpsteer. Usually a drop track bar bracket will help, but it needs to usually be matched with a drop pitman. Long story short do what you can to get the pivot points for both as close to each other as possible. Also make sure your caster is within spec and that you've got a healthy steering dampener. Once the fundamental geometry is correct those two should help the manners and keep those heavier tires in check. You can also try playing with your front tire pressure a few psi in either direction if you're getting poor performance on washboards/rutted dirt. Good luck paul [/QUOTE]
