Morning gents

just got off the phone to Powerstation regarding the fitting of my springs and then the alignment, They suggested that i should get the bump steer mod at the same time as the alignment, was wondering what your opinions were concerning the mod as ive heard some good and some bad points , Powerstation want £240.00+VAT all in

Cheers

Ian

 

I've heard the same, Improves handerling but I've also heard that this may course the steering rack to fail. Goner give it a miss myself

 

I did ask Powerstation if it causes long term damage to the rack and they said not at all but i dont paticularly want to fork out for a new rack in a year or so's time either

what to do

 

Many guys on here will back me up when I say Powerstation are one of the best outfits about.

The rack would probably fail because of age, not the work done. Most cars are fitted with mods some way down their age. The youngest Classics are now 6 years old, originals are now about 14 years old, so age is now an issue I believe.

You may want to consider this before you decide on any mods of any kind.

 

Theres been quite a few people who have had steering rack failer, even after a year, one had his rack replaced and it failed again a year later, one even failed during a mapping session and nearly ended up in the central armco!!!

Don't get me wrong, They really know there stuff, but the bump steer is only a couple of washer after all

You are right there Dan I had it done on mine £75.00 plus V.a.t for a few washers and 10 mins work

 

Don't think i'd take the chance on it having read the thread about it, it was the guy who fitted a new steering rack and it failed in a year that really put me off.

 

i had it done on my old impreza and i never had any problems the 3 years i had it, the car turns in loads better with the bump steer mod done though.

 

As for the rack failing down to the bumpsteer mod - what a load of crap its more than a couple of washers if its that simple try fitting it yourself I think you'll there's more to it than that

I've had six imprezas and all bar one had it done, i'm still in touch with two of the people who bought cars from me and i've not heard of any problems

 

interesting reading
