E46/Z4 BUMP STEER ADJUSTABLE TIE RODS

Overview

Garagistic E46 Bump steer adjustable front tie rod end kits allow the front outer tie rod end pivot to be relocated, which can be used to correct bump steer resulting from modified caster or lower arm geometry, making your E46 more predictable, safer and lowering lap times. "Bump steer" is when your E46 steering wheel turns itself when one wheel hits, causing it to move up or down in a turn. This commonly happens in the middle of a turn on a lowered E46. Excessive bump steer increases tire wear and makes the vehicle more difficult to handle on rough roads. These completely replace your factory tie rods.

Our E46 bump steer adjustment includes multiple sized bump steer spacers for precise adjustment depending on your ride height to eliminate that problem. Sold as a pair (enough to do one car). Our kit also includes the adjustable tie rods themselves which are INDESTRUCTIBLE. These WILL handle the abuse of racing and drifting. These are the beefiest units on the market today while still being lighter than OEM. Made Precision CNC machined monster SOLID 1" Hex! Most units on the market today are made with 1" hollow round tubing with a small slot for adjustments. Our monster 1" hex shape allows for a 1" wrench to be placed anywhere on the rod to adjust! No more stripped slots! No modifications are required for installation!

Drifting and Extended Angle Applications

Please note: For drifting applications where excessive camber and increased Ackerman is needed, careful consideration of the range of movement of the rod ends will need to be made. The bearings we use are extremely tough, however the spindles will see increased stress if the steering geometry wants to rotate past the range of the bearings. This can cause premature wear.
