The effect of bump steer is for the wheels to toe - in or toe - out when the suspension moves up or down. Bump steer is undesirable because the suspension is steering the car instead of the driver. To fix bump steer especially when lowering a car, you need to alter the height of the outer tie - rod relative to the steering rack with adjustable tie - rod ends, also known as a bump steer kit.

These BBK Bump steer Kits will correct the front geometry of the Mustang suspension after you have lowered the it with a Mustang lowering spring kit.
