I took the rest of my front suspension apart today and noticed that the rubber boots on the outer tie rods are destroyed on both sides of the car. I see that new stock outer tie rods are about $35/ea. I was just wondering if anyone was using the Baer Tracker kit on their car. It is right around $160 and is supposed to help out with bumpsteer. I want to know if the kit is worth the extra $$$. Thanks everyone!

Here is what I am talking about:

nope iirc theres a bolt on bumpsteer kit and its probably cheaper

 

I don't find it necessary on my car. I have 1" drop coils and the Shelby drop and I get minimal bump steer. As long as I'm holding onto the wheel, I'm fine.

 

I am mainly looking at them to eliminate the original style rubber grease boot and replace it with a spherical bearing. I think I might give them a try.

 

Greasable ball tie rod ends are still being used on everything from econoboxes to heavy duty trucks. Nothing wrong with the design.

That said, let us know how they work out if you get them.

 

No, I didn't see that it was necessary to

 

If your car is lowered 3 inchs or more then you need them.

 

If you are talking about the Pro-Motorsports kit then it is more expensive, I think between $240-$270 depending where you get it, but then you have to retain the stock style outer tie rods which would put him back in the same place with torn boots.

I don't think the Baer kit is necessary but I have heard from many people that they are very happy with theirs. I say go for it. No more outer boots to worry about.

 

I use the baer trackers on my 65 with lower suspension and 245 40 17 tires in the front. There was a noticeable improvement in the bump steer in the car and I am very happy with them.

 

Thanks for all the replies everyone. I am gonna place my order for a set of them today. I will give a review when I get the car back on the road.
