Lowering your 996 is a great way to improve its handling, although lowering it can also create some unwanted geometry changes leading to bump-steer.
Bump-steer is created when the suspension arms of your Porsche are set at a different angle to that of the tie rod ends. This difference in angles means the suspension arms and tie rods operate on different movement arcs, restricting movement and causing the front toe angle to change dynamically when driving over bumps when cornering. This causes vague steering, understeer and impedes driver confidence at the limit.
Completely remove unwanted bump-steer by installing our Suspension Secrets Adjustable Bump Steer Tie Rod Ends for the Porsche 911 (996). Our stainless steel tie rods are fully adjustable, allowing you to set the angle of your tie rods to match the angle of the suspension arms.
The key benefits of our Suspension Secrets Adjustable Bump Steer Tie Rod Ends for the Porsche 911 (996) are:
Suspension Secrets' products are designed and manufactured in the UK. Our products are made from billet aircraft-grade 6082 T6 aluminium and corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel. We use motorsport-spec Fluro bearings for maximum performance and longevity.
Bump Steer
Bump steer is highly undesirable within racing especially on tracks or surfaces that contain bumps. If the suspension is constantly transitioning between bump and droop, then a car with bump steer will constantly be shifting the steering angle of the car and will make the front end very unstable at high speeds. The bump steer in the system will affect the precisely designed Ackermann steering geometry and will make the steering more unpredictable for the driver.
Bump steer can provide an advantage to the rear end of a car on a smooth circuit effectively providing “active toe” during cornering. This can be used on a front wheel drive car to produce toe out, when the suspension is in bump, at the rear of the car to encourage oversteer on turn in; removing understeer characteristics.
All Suspension Secrets upgrades are designed, developed and manufactured in-house. This process includes prototyping new products using CAD and 3D printing technology, and extensive rear-world testing with professional racing drivers. Sophisticated motorsport data capturing equipment allows us to measure the handling performance gains achieved by our parts.
All parts purchased on our website are shipped internationally free of charge. We accept return requests made within 14 days of receipt of the item.
