I know the best thing to do is tell your insurance company about any changes, however insignificant they may seem, to your car. Has anyone had their insurance increased as a result of having bump-steer removed?

Its a goemetry change that helps dial out understeer. I got mine done at Powerstation at the weekend and it has transformed the handling of my car

I faced a dilemma, to ask my insurer about bumpsteer or to just go and do it. I asked, and they said they wouldn't accept it (this is Admiral).
The reason I thought I'd check it was simply because if I wrapped it round a tree and the mod was revealed by an inspection I'd be stuffed - no insurance. I wasn't expecting them to object though !

Did you speak to their senior technical consultant ?
I explained to the BellDirect technical guy exactly what is involved and what the benefits are.
He was ok with this.

I'll give them another try. I think the more I tried to explain it the less they liked the idea. The car already has the Prodrive handling package, which they were happy with, so maybe its a case of one mod too far (i.e. this would make it a total of two mods ... )

Does the bump-steer mod increase uneven tyre wear at all? I've heard that the Prodrive geometry settings can do this but does the bump-steer? (different things I know)

Powerstation pioneered this mod and as far as I know they are the only ones that do it.
They're in Cheltenham and I think it costs about £100.

BellDirect and Admiral are in the same building - get the technical guy to walk upstairs and talk to them ! (i found this out when I was transferring insurance from Admiral to BellDirect - cheaper quote, and instead of phaffing about with the NCB certificate they just walked it up the stairs!)
