And to quote Carter quoting Rick Cline "after all that work, I couldn't tell the difference on the racetrack ...". It's there, like it is in virtually every car. And like virtually every car, it's not a big issue. Even 4x4 pickup trucks, which tend to have remarkably horrible bump steer.
It's caused by suspension motion. So the easy and very effective band-aid is to limit suspension motion. Most easily done with stiff springs. Not that these cars had a lot of suspension travel anyways. There's nothing unique about the GT6 front suspension compared to the Spitfire. So beware of an article that says something about it being a GT6 problem, but not a Spitfire problem. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <spitfires@autox.team.net> Sent: Tuesday, August 14, 2007 7:51 PM Subject: [Spits] GT6 Bump Steer >I have read several articles on the fact that the GT6 has bump steer based > on the location of the steering arms in relation to the chassis.
