Bump Steer

Bart,

Yes, short wheelbase vehicles HATE washboard. Mushier springs will help some but will not solve the problem.

The bump steer I'm talking about is a single bump at speed that some have mentioned is bad enough to cause an inadvertent lane change.

Well, then I can safely say I have never experienced what you are talking about. It sounds scary.

I experience this on a daily basis. But I have to say It scared the snot outa my nose the first time it happened.

There is a crease between the off ramp and the bridge where I exit the freeway everyday and if I get the green light, I’m coming in at least 45mph and hit the bump mid way in the turn; my back end always pops up and shifts to the right throwing off my "line" of driving. But I’m so used to it now that I already know how to compensate for the bump. I’ve got the Rancho 9000xl installed and set to number 9 and sitting in the stock stance btw. Setting it any lower I float around like a semi truck cab sitting on springs or something…
