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.

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 .

A longer upper ball joint will help correct that problem.

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