Whilst lowering the ride height of your Boxster/Cayman is a great way of improving handling, it can also induce bump-steer.

Bump-steer occurs after a car has been lowered. The lower ride height changes the angles of the suspension arms and tie rods relative to one another. This change in angle affects the arc patterns of the suspension arms and the tie rods, reducing the range of movement available at the wheel hub. This causes the front toe geometry angle to change dynamically when driving. This constant change of toe angles results in instability and understeer when driving hard.

To eliminate bump-steer, we designed our Suspension Secrets Adjustable Bump Steer Tie Rod Ends for the Porsche Boxster/Cayman 987. Our stainless steel tie rod ends can be shimmed in order to eliminate bump-steer, allowing you to exploit the dynamic benefits of a lower ride height without any of the downsides.

The key features of the Suspension Secrets Adjustable Bump Steer Tie Rod Ends for the Porsche Boxster/Cayman 987 are:

  • Complete removal of bump-steer
  • Reduced understeer
  • Increased steering accuracy
  • Reduced understeer

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.

Geometry Explained

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.

Product Development

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.
