Lowering a C5 or C6 drops the outer steering pivot below its designed height, which is what puts bump steer into the front end and makes the car dart over mid corner bumps. These replace the factory outer tie rod ends with a bumpsteer adjustable assembly whose pivot height is set by a stack of stainless steel spacers, so the front toe curve can be dialed back in after a ride height, caster or lower arm geometry change. Shanks are CNC machined from 9310 alloy at 190ksi tensile strength, turnbuckle bodies are black anodized 2024-T351 aluminum, and Teflon lined FK high misalignment spherical bearings replace the factory rubber joints so nothing binds at full suspension travel. Made in the USA.
