auxilary Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 hey guys.. in my other post i asked about the shorter steering knuckles and ppl told me to get them so ill pick those up today.also i have some questions about these other parts. you don't need them' date=' they're expensive. They're good for autocross because of quicker steering response needed in tight spaces/turns, but steering effort is increased. bump steer spacers... should i get these? they said there good for cars thats lowered that will be sporting 15in or larger wheels... They will help, but they just relocate the problem elsewhere. They are a good fix for the street for a car lowered more than an inch. A better fix is moving the pivot points of the control arm. dont think my Energy Suspension Master Bushing kit comes with these (they might) but should i get Steering Rack Bushings? check if they do, and if they don't, get them anyway. Worth the extra money. also can somebody let me no if i need a Caster Adjustment Kit..all these are out of a MSA catalog. MSA overcharges for everything. You can get the same master kit from suspension.com for a lot cheaper. The bumpsteer spacers can be purchased from http://www.jagsthatrun.com for 50 bucks vs 60, I think. That's where I got mine from. How much are you lowering your car, and the street camber kit from MSA doesn't allow you to quickly change camber settings. Every time you need to adjust it, you will need to drop the strut. This isn'ta problem if you only need to do it once (ie. street car).

demon Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 also i dont think my Energy Suspension Master Bushing kit comes with these (they might) but should i get Steering Rack Bushings? The Energy Suspension master kit DOES come with the rack and pinion bushings - I just installed these on Friday. The kit is actually very complete, and even comes with a steering coupler. I'd be surprised if you needed any other bushings that don't come in the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have a huge tear down the middle of mine from trying to remove it from the packaging, but I'll scan it in and post it later on tonight.
