Common Questions
What is bump steer?
Bump steer is a change in your vehicle's toe setting as the suspension travels up and down. It can cause the tires to steer slightly on their own, leading to unpredictable handling and increased steering wheel feedback.
What is the benefit of relocating the tie rod pivot point?
Relocating the outer tie rod pivot point is a key engineering strategy to correct the factory geometry. This allows for a near-zero change in toe during suspension travel, effectively eliminating bump steer.
Will this kit affect my alignment adjustments?
This kit is designed to correct the geometry of the factory arm configuration. While it provides toe adjustment, it is important to note that caster and camber are not adjustable on stock arms. This kit ensures that toe adjustments do not negatively impact other alignment aspects.
What models have been verified for fitment?
Fitment and function have been verified on 2022+ HD10 Lonestar and Limited models. Shock Therapy is continuously working to expand verified fitment to more models. It is recommended to measure bump steer prior to installation.
What Riders Are Saying
The difference is night and day. My Defender handles so much better now, especially on rocky trails. No more fighting the steering wheel!
— John D., Colorado
Installation was straightforward, and the results are incredible. The steering is precise, and the arm pump is gone. Highly recommend!
