First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... One thing about the first gen front end is there is considerable bump steer. This gets worse as you dial in more caster that suits modern tires because it rotates the effective tie rod location. Baer used to offer adjustable tie rod ends to correct this. SC&C had tall rod ends that correct this but I don't see it on his site at the moment. Pozzi has considerable information about first gen front ends on his site http://www.pozziracing.com/first_gen_suspension.htm.
