I recently installed Whiteline's rear bumpsteer kit per the included instructions. My issue is I can't get the rear toe back to zero, let alone a little bit in like I've read I should do. At least not without using the camber adjustment (going way negative, damn near 3*) to straighten the wheels out. I have stock bilsteins and Swift springs if it matters.

Anyone else have this problem and what did you do to correct it? Thanks.

 

Which direction did you install the offset bushing? I'm doing this from memory, but I think the offset is supposed to be upwards.

 

It's supposed to be down to reduce bumpsteer per the instructions. I think I may have found the problem. I went ahead and pulled the arms back off and they weren't quite pointing down. It looks like they may have shifted sometime. The one that I've fixed so far seems like it'll give me a bit more adjustment. I'm waiting on an airhose right now so i can put it back together. I'll update if that fixes the problem.

 

Is your car lowered?

 

Yes, on swift springs. Stock bilsteins.

 

I had the exact same problem. I have swift springs as well as the bumpsteer kit. It was only an issue on side, if I remember correctly the driver's rear. I had everything installed correctly and was still unable to get the correct alignment. The solution was to drill out the eccentric bolt hole a little bit to allow more adjustment. Hope this helps if you are still having problems.

 

Reinstalling the bushing helped some, but I still can't get it to 0. I quit cuz it got cold and was getting late. I'm going to get at it again tomorrow. I thought about drilling out that hole too. Doesn't look like fun.

 

Although I have not installed this kit before, I believe you need to adjust the bushing so that the arm is horizontal with a fully loaded suspension (car on the ground and settled)

 

I don't know. The instructions from whiteline say up for increased bumpsteer and down for decreased bumpsteer. It doesn't really say anything about in between. They show a picture of it installed and the hole is pointing straight down when the arm is in the car.

 

+1 as I had the same issue. I took a grinder and rounded off some of the bolt so we could have more adjustment.

 

I finally just cocked the bushings a little bit towards the wheels and that worked. When I have more time I'm going to widen the hole. Thanks everyone for your help.

 

How are you guys removing the toe linkage from the hub?

I found this ball joint remover.


has anyone ever used one of these?
