    Hello,

    as E Z I already showed on the HAMB (http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=292327) i'm following up on that and am doing the same to my uprights -> DROPPING them...

    My 1950 chevrolet deluxe 4dr sedan needs to get lower, much lower...

    But, fatman sells dropped steeringarms as well with the uprights, while E Z I didn't change his steeringarms and did not suffer from bumpsteer..

    What do you think? I'm guessing it'll be oke and i won't notice the bumpsteer that much since my front suspension is VERY firm already plus i'm gonna cut a coil too (like E Z I) which in place will make it a little firmer as well...

    So...Will i encounter problems? What'ya think?

    Bumpsteer is caused by the steering gear Rack or Standard not being level and in the centre of the travel of the suspension. If the steering is too far up or down it will bind when the wheel travels to the ends of the movement.

    It easy to build a car. Just make sure it square, level and everything is equal to the centreline.(Frame, Motor, Body and Suspension) That's all!!!
