VBP Bump Steer Kit?
Anyone know anything about this kit? What are the little triangle brackets with the bolt holes for? I am having a hard time picturing this thing, Anyone have pics of installation?

NO pix, but from what I seen all it does is drop the outer end of the tie rod about 2"? or so, and that reduces a good bit of the bump stear....
but it's not a cure all, as many posts by Norval years ago proved....he did a whole write up on it.....
where is my MANUAL???
did you send it yet???

Sorry, no pix. The blocks go beneath the steering knuckle to drop the outer attachment point of the tie rods approx. 1" into better alignment to reduce/improve (but not eliminate) bumpsteer variation. Jason Staley posted before and after bumpsteer plots a few months ago.
Ackerman is also increased (good for initial turn-in on tight corners), and steering rate will be slightly altered (slower if the tie rods were previously in the forward holes in the steering knuckles). Those latter changes ought to be noticed in the form of easier parking lot maneuverability if you have manual steering.
