Smile RSS front bump steer kit & LCAs now available

Hey guys,
Many of you have purchased suspension components from us over the years so we wanted to introduce another part we've been using recently. This is the front adjustable toe / bump steer correction kit. The kit is designed for cars that have been lowered to correct the tie rod angle, which will be incorrect and limit travel if the tie rod is not parallel to the ground. The bump steer is adjustable using a sliding washer system.



These parts were designed with street use in mind, of all of the cars we've done with RSS components over the years, none have had the rattling noise or creeking sounds associated with monoball bushings since RSS uses the best quality ends and makes the parts in-house.

The price is $450 and it can be ordered directly from our site. We have a bit more on this item here:

These fit any 911 or 987 model.

For those that had been asking, we also have the RSS Tarmac series Lower control arms in stock again:

This is a tie-rod end, right? And the bump steer correction comes from setting the ball joint down further toward the road thus changing the suspension geometry, right? Thats what the threaded rod end is right? The RSS branded sleeve part is just the normal toe adjustment part right?

Thanks

Hi Rich,
Yes these are the tie-rod ends for the front. You are correct on how the bump steer correction works -- the height of the outer end is adjusted to keep the arm parallel to the chassis on lowered cars (otherwise they will be up at an angle when the chassis is lowered). It is done by using washers (visible at the lower end of the taper) that can slide up /down depending on where they need to be.
