Gotta know more about your front suspension. What steering do you have, Vega cross steer, Draglink parallel to the wishbones, etc. Tell us more, Nitro.

Check the above link for and explanation of bump steer and go to the web and Type "Bump Steer" which will bring up tons of stuff. I understand it some what but am no expert at this. I, like you, would have to read up on it.

I had a car that had the steering on the same side as the steering box and had no bump steer.My present Ride has cross steering and I get some bump steer but nothing that can't tolerate.I have talked to guys that run a rack on a dropped axle and they said they had no problems.I had heard you couldn't run a rack with a dropped axle but they seemed to think differently......I bet that dude burns a lot of cigars..

Put a Panhard bar on. Make sure it sits level at ride hight. Worked for me on my 33 with 4" drop.

A panhard bar would do the job for sure.The only time I can feel mine is when I go over a quick rise that lifts the suspension.Now that I live in the sun shine state I won't worry about it because it is pretty flat here...Ray
What a way to get out of a job.....

Panhard Rod....
My 34 ford would almost change lanes on the freeway when I hit a dip. After the panhard rod, no problems.
