Bump steer be gone.
Bump steer be gone.
Here is a little project i have been working on for a wile.
Its a manual machined fabed out low clearance steering rack. For those looking for more ideas to the dreadful bump steer issue, maybe this idea might help
.. My engine is a bit lower than most 3 rotor swaps out there, close to 1 inch lower. I mean i don't have no motor mount puck /bushings the motor mount arms are siting right on the sub frame lol, with a -3 degree tilt on the engine.
But any way, my pride and joy..

So are you hard mounting the engine to the sub-frame to keep it from torquing over so it doesn't rub the rack? Is the tranny still supported by the PPF? If so, you will need to add a tranny brace to stiffen that section up. Under heavy acceleration, the front half of the differential tries to move up. This will the lift the attatched PPF as a whole and also try to lift the rear of the tranny. When the rear of the tranny lifts, the front of the engine will pivot downward which will cause the front of your engine to rest on top of your rack. I learned of the pivoting with my own project when my custom made diff brace welds broke. Just an FYI
