1997 THRU 2002 CORVETTE
Bump steer occurs when intentional changes to steering geometry, such as caster, camber, or static ride height, result in undesired, dynamic changes to toe settings. This happens when the initial angle of the tie rod, due to altered geometry, is such that when the suspension is articulated through a range of motion, the tie rod is not able to travel in the same arc as the steering arm on the spindle. At the point the steering arm and tie rod arcs become different, unwanted steering input results. In driving, this normally shows up when the suspension is already "loaded" (as in hard cornering, and particularly when simultaneously braking) and a change in road surface (pot hole, bump, other) is encountered. In such cases, the car darts sharply and unexpectedly. In the extreme, this can cause a total loss of control, minimally, it is unsettling, unsafe, and undesirable. BAER TRACKERS feature hardened chrome moly tie rod pins with a threaded extension at the base of the taper. This fits through a Teflon lined rod end (again, chrome moly) and is height adjustable with use of machined spacers provided in TRACKER packages. The rod end is joined to the rack or drag link with an intermediate sleeve. TRACKERS can easily be installed by alignment shops and bump steer virtually eliminated by setting the pin the proper height.
