The Global West steering arms lower the outer tied rod by about 5/8" actually making bump steer worse with stock suspension components. They may work with control arms that allow large degrees of caster. In my case I went from 1/4" to 1/2" toe change per side with those arms.

You may need to bend the outer tie rod arms up or somehow lower the inner tie rod. If you take some caster out it should raise the outer tie rod ends. Bump steer can be very difficult to correct.

A GM A body is front steer. Adding positive caster raises the outer tie rod.

Have you spoken to other A body racers with Alf’s suspension pieces like Jason Line or Kevin Borgstrom?
