I noticed in the latest "Automation" sales flyer that they have a kit for replacing the tie rod ends with spherical rod ends. This is supposed to address the fact that the rack cannot be spaced far enough on a lowered car to eliminate the possibility of bump steer. It looks like a well thought out kit and in theory makes sense to me.

I have spacers on the rack in my 930 (lowered 25.5" frt, 25" rear, ground to fender lip), but I still notice that I do experience kick back in the steering wheel on occasion from bump steer.

The kit for both ends is not cheap (I would not expect it to be from the quality the components have to be), so I would like to hear an endorsement from anyone who has installed this particular kit, or who in general could provide me with comment. Also is anyone aware of this type of kit being available from other suppliers?

Thanks, John
