Guest Anonymous Posted May 19, 2001 Share Posted May 19, 2001 Hello fellows. I read the JTR manual and at the end it makes mention of bump steer on the early Z's and tells how to correct it. What do you guys know about it and have you perform the procedure suggested in such manual? Also, I was told that the early Z's with the hatch window defroster lines goingvertically was rare. Is it true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modern Motorsports Ltd Posted May 20, 2001 Share Posted May 20, 2001 search the archives on bump steer, might be enough matches to burn out a monitor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted May 20, 2001 Share Posted May 20, 2001 A couple of folks have done various crossmember mods with varying degrees of success. It would seem that the best thing to do is figure out if your particular car has bumpsteer before modifying anything too much. You can make things worse if you do the mod wrong - it's not a silver bullet. It seems to be agreed upon though that the spacers above the crossmember aren't a good idea and might make handling worse. I've not got them in my car and the motor fits fine, it's not on the road yet so driveline angles remain to be seen. Oh, you might try asking and searching in the Brakes, Wheels, and CHASSIS section as the SBC area won't have much in the way of suspension hits. Moderator want to move this one over maybe?
