[QUOTE="obZidian, post: 10827074, member: 27014"] A good friend of mine just picked up a Cobra. Besides the clutch feeling like you're trying kick through a concrete wall, the car is plenty fun.. even if it slower than my old car! hehehe!! Anyways, on thing that I noticed is that she exhibits a good amount of bump steer which ALWAYS "bumps" or the rear "shifts" over the the right or the passenger side. With my old 98 camaro, she would do the same thing but that was with a SRA not an IRS. We had bump steer kits that realigned the suspension geometry and that helped out tremendously. Also, besides the bump steer, the right rear tire is REALLY worn on the INSIDE of the tire ONLY. Tire pressure is fine and the left tire DOES NOT exhibit any of the wear the the right is showing. I recommended that he check his rear alignment as it seems as if the camber and/or toe might be off. That alone might be able to help with the bump steer however, his car is lowered A LOT and I think the rear suspension might be off. I apologize as I don't have much info on what mods it has but I do know that it is lowered, riding on bilsteins on stock Cobra wheels with spacers. (He purchased the car with all of these mods) The tires DO RUB even with a no passengers in it so the drop is probably like a sportline drop, not a prokit drop.. if that makes any sense. Anyways, are there bump steer kits available for these cars and do they TRULY work? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
