Not sure I understand myself. I Found a wikipedia artical talking about it though... I came here for more info, searched Bump steer, hince the necromanced thread
Bump steer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How innaproprate the internet is.
I GOogle search for Bump Steer and go to the images. And there are diagrams and stuff talking and explaing it that I dont hardly understand, then I see a picture of some guy's Bump getting licked by a steer! WTH? I didnt want to see that! I wanted to know about cars not sikko farmers.

An example of bump steer is when you hit a speed bump at an angle with your hands very loose on the steering wheel. If the wheel is wild as sh*t bump steer is bad if the wheel moves very little your bump steer is not bad. No matter what you will have some type of bump steer, it just worsens when you lower or raise a vehicle because the tie rods are no longer parallel to the ground.

Bump steer actually doesn't always have to do with just bumps, it can be more pronounced with hitting a bump. If the suspension is compressed enough (hard corning or a bump) the geometry of the front suspension changes and can cause the toe to change mutliple degrees out of spec, this can lead to premature tire wear and the car steering it's self so to speak. Poweel or Maven could probably explain it better than I have and they probably already have
