The ball joints will fix the geometry on in front end which is thrown off when lowered. They help ALOT, u can see the difference between the ball joints before you even install them. They also help with handling, the feeling is the equivalent to adding a thicker front sway bar. The bump steer kit is kinda misunderstood, it helps in SOME cases. The bump steer kit is kinda like CC plates they have to be needed AND adjusted correctly. If u just throw them on without adjusting them they will do more harm than good. Just like CC plates the chances of you needing a bump steer kit increases the more you lower the car. And just like CC plates the bump steer kit is useless unless it is setup correctly. I 'm lowered 1.7 in the front and the wheels only steer the car when I turn the wheel. Even when I had stock suspension I had some bump steer, and with all of us owning stangs I'm sure we drive a little 'spirited' sometimes. With that said, when asking if u need a bump steer kit I would say yes IF u have experienced bump steer with the suspension u have because bump steer at 80+ mph can be dangerous. I hope this helps.

My vehicle currently is stock but I want to do some work with it. I experience bumpsteer as it is (usually over 40mph is when it's noticable, depending on the quality of the road). I was considering getting a bumpsteer kit as it seems to be a magical fix for the issues I'm experiencing, however I do want to lower the car eventually (likely within the next 6 months).

Do you have a bumpsteer kit in your stang? You say yer lowered and have no bumpsteer now - did you do something to correct it (the kit) or did the lowering itself help?

Should I just deal with the bumpsteer now, or should I lower first, then if still experiencing bumpsteer get the kit?

Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Just do it all at once. Lowering the car without the bumpsteer kit will make it that much worse. So just do it all at the same time. And do the ball joints at the same time.
