perhaps ... WABS kit
but i still dont think its actually available 

[Janner_Sy]

heres my attempt at explaining bumpsteer from what i have researched etc.

when the suspension is compressed or released, for example on bumpy roads when driving, the wheels will tend to toe out or in by a few mm.  this gives the effect of the car wandering when driving over bumpy roads without your input(sort of like tramlining i guess)

From what i gather the whitelone bump steer kit, raises the angle of track control arm which reduces the bump steer effct giving you more control over the steering.

Feel free to correct me if im talking b0ll0x

Simple, cheap and potentially good mod

I wanted a set to go with my WALK but Whiteline didn't have any in stock and the wait was too long for my liking which is a pity.
From what I have read it does help when its combined with WALK.

Oh no! Not another mod to add to the list I thought was finished.

TT wishbones first for me.

Problem is rose joints don't suit the UK climate, but there's no doubting it's ace.

[Janner_Sy]

rose joints??

i thought rose jointing is when you weld stuff together

[tony_danza]

Nope. Uber control, compared to ball joints but eat themselves when combined with road crap and salt.

[Janner_Sy]

You have any pictures of what one looks like as i can't picture what a rose joint would look like.

I've heard the term rose jointed suspension  before just not seen them.

[tony_danza]

With a lockpin. No movement, no protection to the elements.... but epic win.

[Janner_Sy]

now i can see what you mean, have seen this sort of thing before, just never realised that they were rose joints.

the normal track rod ends run the ball joint so would have a lot more play in it that.  Do you anticipate quite a bit of improvement?  and how wearable do you reckon this whiteline kit would be,

Maybe this is why it is taking so long to get released, as there are wear and tear issues???

The Ohlins steering damper on my CBR is rose jointed - and hasn't deteriorated.  Maybe when they are hidden under arches, and peeps get lazy . . . .

[tony_danza]

It wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't so much salt and crap on our roads over winter. Grotty location on the car that most people won't be bothered getting at to keep clean.

But yes, tighten things up a real treat.

I wonder if you could devise something to seal them, like some kind of boot?
