Just curious how everybody is setting up their bump steer kits with a manual rack and tubular A arms?? I've got BMR A arms on mine.
I'm trying to get mine kinda set to get into the alignment shop. I've seen guys using angle finders but they are using stock A arms and stock style steering which almost makes it easier to get closer.
I have a good video on bump steer.
if you don't want to buy a Bump gauge, just get your tie rod angle and a-arm angle as equal as possible.
A $5 driveshaft angle finder is enough to get you 90% of the way there.
That last 10% is quite the time consuming ordeal.
my current bump steer is 0.004in in my suspension complete range. (When racing)
Another note is your Alignment needs to be pretty close to being final in order to set Bump.

I actually came across your video earlier today. I see you set yours up with stock A arms, mine on the other hand are BMR tubular and have kind of a wicked bend in them going towards the spring pocket. There's no way I could match the angle of the A arm with the tie rod it just doesn't go down far enough(if that makes any sense)
