Well, I do not even know what bump steer is so please explain.(Perhaps my
father knows, he is "chief mechanic"(but he is not around,I do not live at
home anymore since I am studying)). But I still think that the dampers has
a bit to do with the darting around, as my father reports that it
improved(but not enough) after he changed the springs and slackend the
shockabsorbers.
