The bump steer 'mod' will be part of the Powerstation alignment check. It might or might not need doing. Mine was arrow straight.

I think you refer to the roll centre mod which is new bottom ball joints/track rod arms which tends to true the steering (and hence bump steer) on lowered cars.

If the car is down by 20mm or more then could be a good thing, can also be a sod to fit! (= ££££)
This is what it looks like:

I did ask them about the Bump Steer Mod..but they siad i shouldnt need it....and it was left a that...

I got there late near 4:30pm...thooks them an hour to install...and it made a HUGE difference..!

Didnt really give me any options...though was told thery are set to Medium front and back!

The only issue is the car is pulling to the right.. not sure if this has anything to do with the new wheels i put on the car..as i am also gettting a wobble at 70mph!...??

Thoug ofcourse the Bigger issue is that my sodding Clutch has given up on me... so car going too API to get that fixed first...on Thursday...(So i gues the AST's will be on hold for now..)

What to do?

My car is pulling to the right...this was before it went to API...and they have said it needs its tracking doing...

I dont really want to spend £60 in fuel to go back to Powerstation to have the tracking redone...as i can only assume it was not done correctly the first time around...

At the same time i bought new wheels from Scooby Clinic...and the wheels are wobling...and i had to get the balancing done again..whioh cost me more money...

any thoughts?

If you were to fit the rear anti-roll bar yourself, does the car need to be lifted evenly off the ground to relieve the load on the bar or just raised slightly. Will the bar spring off when unbolting the droplinks?
