Default DIY bump steer kit

Asking for people here that have done this or have any info... yea or nay? Saw this topic in another thread but the guy didn't end up making it. I am thinking of copying his idea. What do you guys think?

Parts in mind:
- ADJUSTABLE TIE ROD ADAPTER STUD TO HEIM
- Heim joint
- Swaged steel tubes

First question is, why do you need it? Usually the only times you run into bump steer problems are if you do a granada spindle swap (ugh), lower the car an obscene amount, or during some R&P conversions.

Hey Stanfury - Yep, did a granada swap back in the days. Also, dropped the car, but don't think it's an obscene amount.

Ah. The granada spindle geometry is different, which can lead to bump steer issues.

Yea, it was the only brake conversion I was able to afford back in high school. I might pull the trigger and just do it.. found this thread on VMF. Seems like someone has already done it and confirmed that the tie rod fits the granada spindles.
