What exactly is a "bump steer kit" .......the double A-arm suspension isn't a bump steer problem unless you have done something stupid with the suspension

That something stupid is putting an LSx in the car and moving the steering rack down to clear the oil pan.

I have talked to him and he does not currently make them. I was told he got his kit form hinson. However, i have not had the best luck with hinson as far as communication so i was curious if there were other companies that made them.

That will do it

If you can fabricate the mounts and all the other stuff for the swap this should be relatively easy.....

This is more of a time thing. I would rather put my time and effort into other aspects if i can pick up a simple off the shelf bump steer kit.

94-04 mustang kits will work. I used one, and did a 5/8" bolt through rather then taper stud.

so why did you use a 5/8 bolt instead of the tapered stud? i too am looking for a kit. Does the mustang stud not fit the spindle? thanks

The stud is a larger diameter than the RX8 one. Possibly could ream out the RX8 knuckle to match the mustang diameter but I did not have a reamer
