What is bump steer and why do these parts fix it?

Bump steer is when your wheels turn unintentionally as the suspension moves up and down. This kit lets you adjust the tie rod end's pivot point, correcting the steering geometry and reducing unwanted wheel movement during suspension travel.

What makes these tie rod ends suitable for racing or drifting?

They use strong 9310 alloy shanks with high tensile strength and lightweight aluminum turnbuckles. The high-misalignment bearings also allow for greater suspension movement without binding, which is important for performance driving.

Do these come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

This product is sold as a pair of outer tie rod ends. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for a complete list of required tools and any additional hardware needed.

Product Details

If you've lowered your 1997-2013 Chevrolet Corvette (C5 or C6) or changed the suspension geometry, you might notice bump steer. This happens when the angle of your wheels changes undesirably as the suspension moves up and down, which can make the car feel darty and unpredictable, especially during hard cornering. These adjustable outer tie rod ends from SPL Parts are designed to fix that by letting you relocate the tie rod end's pivot point, bringing your steering geometry back into line.

SPL Parts builds these tie rod ends with serious use in mind. The shanks are made from 9310 alloy, which is known for its high tensile strength, making them tough enough for racing and drifting. The turnbuckles are crafted from black anodized 2024-T351 aluminum for a good balance of strength and light weight. They also feature Teflon-lined FK high-misalignment bearings. These bearings allow for more movement without binding, which is crucial when a car is lowered, helping to maintain proper steering function and reduce wear.

This set is sold as a pair and is proudly made in the USA. They're a solid option for Corvette owners looking to dial in their suspension and improve handling after modifications.
