Is there anything I can do to reduce bump steer? I nearly broke my thumb when I hit a rut. and does anyone know how to put pictures in my post??

Thanks

Go to www.photobucket.com and sign up. Put your pictures there and then hit the

What steering set up do you have now? Any suspension lift?

Its a 1980 k5 with a 4 1/2 inch lift and 35's. Other than that its all stock up front.

Steering Stabilizers are made for that, I know they helped my truck with that and tire wobble. Some people will say it's from bad steering parts, but my truck had the wobble with all new steering parts...Dana parts even.

Got a raised steering arm or drop pitman arm on it? Either of those will help, but won't eliminate the problem. Crossover steering is the true cure, but requires quite a bit of work and usually $$.

I run the same lift up front, with a raised steering arm. Bump steer was really bad until I replaced the steering stabilizer. Much better but it is still noticable and annoying offroad.

I think what he is suggesting is that you search when you have a question. Many things are asked/answered all the time. If you still have questions after a search, post away.
