[QUOTE="01yellercobra, post: 16411382, member: 35549"] You're confusing two different things. The caster/camber plates only adjust caster and camber. They replace the strut mounts at the top of the strut tower. As mentioned it makes setting the adjustment easier and gives you more room to adjust. The bump steer kit replaces the outer tie rod that's connected to the spindle. It adjusts the angle of the tie rod compared to the steering rack. It has nothing to do with caster or camber. I'd pull the spindle and check the ball joint before making a decision. If you're lucky and the boot recently came apart the joint might still be tight. But if it's been open like that for a while chances are the grease is gone and the join is loose and worn out. [/QUOTE]
