A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

They even posted some interesting info about the camber curve changes these provide. It's on protouring.com and it looks like a much better set up for a G body chasis.

They have some nice stuff.  For some reason, I thought they had done something to address bump steer a few years ago.  Maybe I am thinking of a Ferd parts, or something else.

Yep, four or five degrees of positive really shows up in the handling and feel.

If one installs these pieces is the only option driving to Texas to get Charlie to do the wheel alignment?

they also have the inners..  http://cachassisworks.com/p-1250-monte-carlo-78-88-bump-steer-kit-outer-only.aspx

After doing a lot fo research on this looking for parts there's a much less expensive way to go. You can ge the innertie rod, outer tie rod, stud, and sleeve from speedway for less than $50 each side. As I've done my searching I also found a ton of parts that are at least 1/2 of what the "big guys" want for them. :icon_super:
