Bumpsteer adjustable front tie rod ends

Preload adjustable front stabilizer endlinks

I know there is some confusion/misunderstanding about the need for adjustable lower arms and tie rods. This picture shows what happens when the car is lowered:

The lower arms and tie rods should have been parallel with the ground, now sit at an angle, which causes increased roll and bump-steer (where the steering jerks hard one way or the other when going over bumps). The adjustable lower arm can be used to restore the angle of the lower arm to reduce roll moment, and the adjustable front tie rod ends can restore the tie rod angle to minimize bump steer.

A better writeup by Mike Kojima should be coming up in a future issue of SCC...

Also look out for a new version of SPL tension rods coming out next month, once I test them out at Hallett :)
