It looks like you have the rod end in the center right now, I'd try lowering it so its parallel with the lower arm.

You must get a pretty big increase in camber as the suspension compresses too. Is there any way to raise the upper arm mount at all? If you could, it would definitely help with your bumpsteer issue as the rising camber is the main cause of it.

Thanks for your input!

Yeah, I've been thinking about the Revo hollow balls but haven't gotten around to order them so thanks for posting the part number and saving me some time!

You're probably right about camber. I haven't paid much attention to any angles at all really other than looking at how much bumpsteer I got. It would probably be possible to raise the mounts but doing so would also raise the shock tower so new mounting points for the shocks would be required. Might be worth looking into though.

I'll try and shoot a video of the suspension articulation once I've set toe and camber.
