BTW.....Back in 2004 when I bought KMP259.....I was the first one that brought the bump steer problem to David & Tom K......and showed everyone how to check it and what needed to be done to fix the problem......when I checked the bump steer on KMP259 the first time...it had as much as .350” movement from toe-in to toe-out....you should only have at most, .015” of a inch per inch of travel in the suspension.....up or down. ......Tom K and I worked on changing the uprights to reduce the amount of bump steer....then I built a whole different steering rack to go with their upright to accomplish our minimum amount of bump steer so we could go around a corner at high speeds....these cars are inherently distorted with lots of bump steer.....that is why I ask the question before I discuss suspension issues.
