It not uncommon for customer who have installed lowering control arms or drop spindles to complain about bump steer. In this post we will provide you information to better understand what bumpsteer is and how it work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The short story here is that </span><span style="color: #252525; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22.4px;">excessive bump steer increases tire wear and makes the vehicle more difficult to handle on rough roads.</span><br />
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: inherit; line-height: 22.4px;"><br /></span>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #252525;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;">What is bump-steer?</span></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #252525;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;">Bump steer is when the front wheels move up and down, we want the front wheels to maintain a particular direction. It's most important for the wheels to have minimal bump when negotiating turns. There are certain elements of the construction of the front end components that will make this happen.</span></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #252525;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;">The angles of the upper and lower control arms, meaning a line extending through the center of rotation of the ball joints and inner mounts of each arm, intersect at a point we call the instant center (IC). This is one of the components used to determine the moment center location. In order to have near zero bumpsteer, the intended goal, we need to have the tie rods on each side point toward the IC for its side. This is one of two criteria for near zero B/S.</span></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #252525;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;">The other thing we need is for the tie rod to be a specific length. That length must be equal to the distance formed by 1) a line extending through the centers of rotation of the tie-rod ends, and 2) the tie-rod line intersection with a) lines extending through both the upper and lower ball joints, and b) the plane that passes through the inner chassis mounts. This can get a little complicated because although the ball joints do form a single line, the chassis mounts form a plane because of the front and rear mounts.</span></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #252525;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;">So, the inner tie-rod intersection point is where the tie-rod line intersects the plane of the inner mounts and the outer line intersection point is where it intersects the ball joint line. A three dimensional geometry program can simulate this very well, but most of us don't have the luxury of owning and knowing how to operate one of those. If so, we must go through the process of physically measuring the B/S in our cars.</span></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #252525;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;"><b>What Creates Bumpsteer</b> When the tie rod is not aligned with the IC and/or the length is wrong for the system, we have B/S. As the wheel moves vertically, the wheel will either steer left or right. We will refer to the direction from a driver's perspective only, in this discussion. </span></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #252525;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;">If the tie rod was pointed so the tie-rod line passes below the IC, then the wheel will bump-in (toward the centerline of the car) as the wheel travels up, and bump-out when the wheel travels down. If the tie-rod line passes over the IC, then we will have bump-out as the wheel travels up, and bump-in when the wheel travels down.</span></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #252525;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;">If the tie rod were too short, we would have bumpsteer in when the wheel travels in both directions from the static ride height position. If it were too long, then the wheel would bump-out as the wheel traveled in both directions from ride height.</span></span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #252525;"><span style="line-height: 22.4px;">These indicators can tell us if we have either a tie rod alignment problem or a tie rod length problem. In some cases, both may be present and that causes a very erratic motion of the wheel. To determine which, record each inch for several inches of travel in both directions from static ride height and note the tendencies. You might have perfect alignment and a tie rod that is wrong for length. This could be due to a poorly designed drag link or the wrong width rack-and-pinion steering unit.</span></span></blockquote>

<br />
<b><u>What is camber?</u></b><br />
<br />
Camber is the tilting of the wheels from the vertical when viewed from the front of the vehicle. When the wheels tilt outward at the top, the camber is positive (+). When the wheel tilts inward at the top, the camber is negative (-). The amount of tilt is measured in degrees from the vertical. Camber settings influence the directional control and the tire wear.<br />
<br />
Too much positive camber will result in premature wear on the outside of the tire and cause excessive wear on the suspension parts.<br />
<br />
Too much negative camber will result in premature wear on the inside of the tire and cause excessive wear on the suspension parts.<br />
<br />
Unequal side-to-side camber of 1° or more will cause the vehicle to pull or lead to the side with the most positive camber.<br />
<br />

Here are a few examples of Kris' truck. This truck was lowered with about 4,000 miles on it. Now there is roughly 30,000 miles. Same suspension, wheels and tires. No rotation of tires either. There is roughly 80 % life left in these Falken Tires.</div>

Not knowing how much the truck is dropped makes buying shocks a difficult task. This how to will also be helpful for the trucks that have air suspension or running a super low static drop.<br />

" This is another question we tend to back away from. Here is why: There are too many different wheel combinations. By combinations I mean offset, diameter and etc.<br />
<br />
The guys over at H & R have put together a simple HOW TO to know you are ordering the right wheel spacers.<br />
<br />
<b>1. Gather Tools</b><br />
To properly measure your wheel gap you will need a few simple tools:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Measuring device with millimeter units</li>
<li>Straight edge--Yard stick or similar</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2. Check Your Gap</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Place a straight edge flush with the face of the wheel and tire combination. Make sure the straight edge touches the tire in two spots to keep the straight edge even with the tire.</li>
<li>Use the measuring device to measure from the inside of the straight edge to the inner fender lip. (see diagram)</li>
<li>Make sure that the measurement is taken at the point where the wheel and tire is closest to the fender. For instance, on a car with a large amount of negative camber the tire and wheel may be closest at the front or rear edge of the fender.</li>
</ul>
<br />

<br />
Now that you have wheel spacers do not forget longer wheel bolts. Here is how to measure the bolts:<br />

<br />
Here is how to successfully do that:<br />
<br />
<b>1)</b> Park your vehicle on a level surface. By doing this you ensure accurate results when getting the vehicle's ride height measurements<br />
<br />
<b>2)</b> By using a measuring tape start from the center of the axle hub going straight up to the bottom of the fender lip.<br />
<br />
<b>3)</b> Repeat this process for all four sides.<br />
<br />

<br />
This is also a process we recommend BEFORE you install your lowered/lifted suspension. By having before and after measurements you can know the total actual amount of ride height you have achieved.<br />
<br />
Now that you have figured out the ride height for your vehicle you want to know what size wheels and tires will work. We typically won't suggest a size to you unless we have personal experience with the same vehicle and suspension as you.<br />
<br />
We do have a niffy tool from the guys over at Discount Tire to use. By using their Tire Dimensions tool you can see what tire size and rim will work. http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoTireMath.dos<br />
<br />
Ya we just gave you some homework, but hey look at it this way at least by doing the measurements we can ensure you order the right stuff the first time and will be happy with your new stance.The Suspension Sourcehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04508914036000025545noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126360523984922194.post-88837702302500318102014-02-19T13:06:00.002-08:002014-02-19T13:06:34.318-08:00Photoshoot of 2013 Chevy Silverado Reg CabAfter the dust settled from SEMA and the holidays were over we finally had a chance for some photos.

Settin Trendz in Fresno, California could not have done a better job. For the exterior a mix of Spyder Auto, Street Scene, Settin Trendz, BedRug, Bushwacker and AVS products were installed.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We dropped off the truck with Jeff at AVS for a bolt in door popper kit and alarm. Jeff installed a bolt in door popper kit (part number TBA), pre wired wiring harness, interior rocker switch and an alarm system. After Jeff was all finished up the truck went over to Settin Trendz to begin the transformation.</div>

Roadwire was the first company to come to mind when discussing converting our cloth seats over to leather & suede. We decided to go with a Black Leather base with black suede insert topped off with red stitching. After a few hours at Fresno Unlimited for installation we ended up with a perfect result. Note: We didn't use the headrests because we thought it looked bitchin' without.<div>

Now on the the tunes. After using Pioneer headunits in the past we picked up a Navigation Touch Screen Pioneer headunit. I picked up a PAC GM29 module to maintain all the factory chimes off eBay for about $25 and a Metra install/wiring harness kit for $20.</div>

Chris and his guys over at Dynamite Car Audio in Clovis, CA were ready to get their hands on the truck to install the goodies we received from Sound Stream. Sound Stream sent us over a 10" subwoofer from their Picasso line.(Part# PCO.10). To power their subwoofer we received a 640 watt amp. (Part #PN5.640D). To finish off the sound system we used a Sound Stream components kit and speakers. Dynamite Car Audio finished off the simple and clean interior by wrapping a custom made speaker box in matching black suede.</div>

Stopping power is always a huge plus. The rear of our truck came with a drum. Luckily the guy's over at Wilwood had a solution to get us running a 6 piston front and 4 piston rear system. To achieve the 4 piston rear system we had to purchase GM Part# 19178787 (x2) and GM Part# 15012506 (x4).<br />

The clock is ticking fast til the SEMA SHOW. After receiving an Airaid Intake System and Throttle Body, Optima Yellow Top Battery and Magnaflow Cat Back Exhaust we got to town on installing it.<br />
<br />
The Airaid Intake System and Throttle Body installed in less than an hour. Our 2013 Silverado has just a little 4.3 so any extras help! We used part number 200-585-1 for the Throttle Body and 200585-1 for the Intake System. We wanted a deeper sound from our exhaust none better to use then a <span style="text-align: center;">Magnaflow's Cat Back System Part#17101. The truck has a much better sound and better throttle response.</span><br />
