Hey fellas..
(i did search but was not 100% so thought i would ask ;) )

Just a quick question.. After fitting My 3" coils and shocks to my LWB Mav today I am getting a big bump steer..

Driving along get a bump or rut in the road and off it goes in that direction..

Does it just need a wheel align or what else could it be..
All though not a bad thing the steering is now a fair bit Lighter..

Cheers
Stewie

Castor correction wont really be the only problem causing bump steer.

You do need some form of castor correction but the main cause of bump steer is more likely to be the fact that you panhard rod and drag link are now out of alignment with each other and running on different angles.

Not a lot you can do really easily and most just live with it.

Castor correction will make it a nicer truck to drive than it is now though.
