Default Offset rack question

I have a 94 gt with sportline springs. If i get the steeda x2 ball joints will i still need to get offset rack bushings? Also has anyone used the Steeda balljoints? Are they worth it and has anyone had any problems with them?? Thanks guys

Default RE: Offset rack question

Maximum Motorsports has this to say on the subject:

Maximum Motorsports' research on bumpsteer proved that with a stock K-member, a center drilled bushing is best, whatever the ride height. When large changes in geometry have been made, as with the MM K-member, the correct use of offset steering rack bushings will relocate the rack to a position which makes it easier to correct the bumpsteer with the MM Adjustable Tie-Rod Ends.

We don't recommend offset rack bushings for stock K-Members...

Offset steering rack bushings move the rack far too much on stock K-Members, and make an acceptible situation far worse than if you had done nothing at all. See our test results in the July 1993 issue of Super Ford, the September 1998 issue of 5.0 Mustang, or call our tech line for more details.

Hope that helps [sm=burnout.gif]
