I'm having to do sone serious fiddling around with my suspension.

I've been thinking of changing the angle of the steering arms. Not through choice really, and at the moment its still slightly hypothetical..

Ignore I mount ny steering arms to the hub, but fitted on top of the hub mounting, obviously the angle would be pointing upwards when the car is on the floor stationary...

This is where the issue with potential bump steer becomes able issue.. By starting them at an angle, is that going to make it worse? As in the standard position, there isn't any real problem... Or would there not be as much if a problem as im thinking?

I know a bump steer gauge is the answer, but this is early plannibg stages.

I don't want to run it low. That's not the reason, its going to be a very sensible height. I'm just trying to get certain things to fit where they should!

No I haven't repositioned the rack, although I've contemplated trying to raise it.

I'm just having some clearance issues with the arb... Although until I get the whole load of suspension back on again I can't sort things for sure. I had to take a load of parts off at the weekend!

And Mei, I'd love to just lose the anti roll bar, but as it costs in the region of a grand, I'm assuming it serves some sort of purpose! Lol.
