Setting a lower ride height, using either lowering springs or coilovers, is a great way of improving the handling of your Cayman/Boxster, but a lower ride height can induce bump-steer.
Bump-steer occurs in lowered vehicles. A lower ride height alters the angles at which the steering arms and steering rack tie rods meet at the front wheel hubs. This difference in arm angle articulation reduces the range of movement available to the arms at the wheel hub. This limited range of movement causes the front toe geometry to change dynamically over bumps, leading to vague and inaccurate steering and instability.
To correct this we've developed our Suspension Secrets Adjustable Bump Steer Tie Rod Ends for the Porsche Cayman/Boxster (981). Our bump-steer tie rods are supplied with shims allowing you to fine-tune the angle of your tie rods, enabling you to complete eliminate bump-steer.
The key benefits of our Suspension Secrets Adjustable Bump Steer Tie Rod Ends for the Porsche Cayman/Boxster (981) 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.
