CantStopTheFox...

I have Eibach Pro-kits, Tokico HP Shocks/Struts, Maximum Motorsport C/C Plates....and an Alignment.

Every once and a while, when I turn the car I get a small knock, or bump...that comes from under my feet. It almost feels like a bushing is loose, and when I turn the car it bumps.......

Then I thought it may be bump steer since the car is lowered.....What do you think??

Better yet, explain bump steer to me

Off the Maximum Motorsports website:

Bumpsteer is a term for the situation where the front toe changes as the suspension moves up and down. If the toe changes more than a very small amount it will cause the car to change direction, making the car unstable and unpredictable.

That does not really sound like what I have.....the car still goes straight, but something is making a bumping sound down there.....

Maybe a motor mount is loose??

i would just go under the car and make sure everything is tight.

I did just replace the motor mounts a month (or two) ago....I will check them out....

I tell you, it was easy to get those on when I could actually stand inside the engine-bay during my H/C/I....now it is going to be a lot of fun from underneath

check the coupling from the sterring colum to the shaft its under the hood, might have to get underneath, might be worn

did you fully tighten your front strut mount bushings? if they are not tight enough...it will cause a knocking noise...

Bumpsteer is basically when you are driving a lowered car over bumpy pavement the wheel/car unexpectedly lurch to one side or another. MM bumpsteer kit is one of the best investements I have made suspension wise.
