Has anybody used a bump steer kit for a 66-67 Chevy II with stock suspension?

Ditto Ed and Tom's comments. Have one of Eddie's kits on my 66 2-dr sedan.

Good morning,
I've been looking at my 1969 Chevy Nova and wanting to check "Bump Steer". I know my front suspension is like 1967 thru 1969 Camaro. Do you have anything for my application? My Front End Guy is no longer with us and I will be doing more of this in the future. Any help or guidance would be Greatly Apricated. Thank you in advance.

I spent a bit of time with one of these. My advice is to limit the travel on the upper control arm from dropping too far. The bump steer gets crazy just that last inch or so.

I only do these for the 1962-1967, early Chevy 11, and only for drag racing, no street cars at all, what so ever.

Good morning, and Thank you for your reply. I'll be looking into this as soon as the snow melts in front of the garage. This is for a Stocker, not a street car, I'm not sure I have a problem but I think its something else to check on.
Have a Good Day!

Jim's advice on limiting the last inch or so is what I have found too, I also heat and bend the steering knuckles down 1/2" or so and that also helps.

I'm not a front end guy afco sells a longer lower ball joint , what dose that change in the front end set up ? On my 67 camaro I'm seeing the top of my front tires tilting inward at the top wheel stand only they use to stay straight thru the full range of travel up and down . At ride its find its bine 5 years since Jack Arnew set it up .

Re: Chevy II bump steer
 

A longer upper ball joint will help correct that problem.

Re: Chevy II bump steer
 

Ken, let's look at it this way. The upper A arm is shorter than the lower. At full lift, the upper tucks in towards the sub frame, causing negative camber.
Let's say , looking that the right front suspension, the A arm is at 8:30 position. A longer ball joint would put it at 9:00, and the spindle won't be tucked in as far.
If your situation is getting worse, it could be that the snubber under the upper arm is collapsing, and that's the best news I can give you.

I just bring my 67/nova to an older gentleman alinement guy
He puts a couple of extra shims behind upper control arms
My cars Been working for over 30 years for me. Not rocket science

Re: Chevy II bump steer
 

James, That's what I did to my 66 Nova years ago. A few shims and it was a whole different car. Probably made the biggest et improvement of anything else I did.
