BTW, what Caster settings are you guys running?? I looked in the manual the other evening and noted ERA specifies around 4.5 degrees. After looking at my latest alignment sheet, it appears I'm running a skoche less than 2 degrees....would moving to 4 or so help with my turn-in and applied steering effort??
Thanks,

You should correct your caster to close to the recommended spec. Bump steer is dependent on the height of the steering arm, which changes with the amount of caster. The rack height was configured with the stock caster.
More caster will make the steering more self-centering and a little heavier, but you can counter that effect by running a bit of toe-out, up to 1/8". The turn-in will be much better, but the car will wander in a straight line.
*Note that the pivot shaft for the front upper control arm has a slight offset. If you need more negative camber with the recommended caster, rotate the shaft 180 degrees in the control arm.
