Bump Steer

Hi,
I have a 74 Corvette - basically a S/ST car - that has bump steer issues at launch when fully extended. I understand the theory as to why it happens; just wondering how others have fixed it. Do the 'Bump Steer kits' offered from Vette Brakes, etc really fix the problem or partially fix it or...?

Thanks
walt

some of the issue is because of the camber change at full extension. longer upper ball joints will help. as well as offset c-arm shafts. start there and then you can perfect it with the bumpsteer kit.
