got my alignment done today
well, it was a pain to get it on the rack, they didnt even want to try, but with 4 people and a floor jack we got it on. it took longer to get it on the rack than it did for them do set everything back where it was supposed to be.
well, needless to say, the baer bump steer kit does what its supposed to! the car hasnt driven so well since it was new.
going across bumps, it doesnt dart to one side or the other like it used to. and if im in a turn and hit a bump, it doesnt feel like its going to the ditch.
well worth the money even though someone 2 or 3 weeks ago couldnt imagine why it was needed. well, it does what its supposed to do and thats what matters.
bear in mind that my car is only lowered on stock bolts with the front bushings cut and it darted really bad.

nope, i put it to the test yesterday on the on-ramp getting onto 95 south which has been scraped for re-paving and there is lots of bumps in it, 75 mph and it was bumpy but well in control.
it was more the small bumps in the road going straight that used to make the car dart around and now it feels as good if not better than it did at stock height with stock tires.
a way more positive feel.

Ah hell yeah! Its not too expensive too. I think I'm gonna order one, bump steer drives me nuts. And I thought the bump steer kits were only for monster trucks and motorcycles.....

I guess I am lucky, the SEARs here has some great guys and they have never had a problem. $95 and the car is running great and goes straight!
