Just a random sort of question. I'm at work and this idea popped into my head.

In order to eliminate some bumpsteer from the front suspension on a DC2 integra... is it possible to shim the steering rack a small amount? I'm running power steering and just wondered if anyone has tried this before.

It might not even be possible? Im not at home and can't look at the car at the moment so - lemme know.

 

bump up a few positions

 

Anyone shim the rack? Sounds kinky.

 

Search instead of bump?

What makes you think you need to adjust the bump steer anyway?

 

Because it may be effected by some other modifications and adjustments i'm making. If i need to adjust it - wanted to know if shimming has been done.

i remember reading that thread but never saw your last post. Very good info.

I've had swapped UCA's and was never sure how much of a difference in bump steer there was so thank you Solo-x for measuring

Since on the lowered car my LCA's are not pointing downward (chassis to wheel), i guess shimming the rack would only worsen the situation.

Cliff notes: Nevermind- wont work for my setup.
