oh , i understand bump steer entirely and it is a matter of where you put the steering elements of the front end more than anything , along with the range of travel of the spindle . but ........  camber also has a lot to do with it .  THE WHOLE THING HAS TO BE  WORK TOGETHER 

i can assure you that if you put zero or negative caster in a steering spindle then you aint gonna keep it on any road ( unless that road is as wide as the U S  ) ........... try it and report back to us , no fear about crashing as you wont be able to get up to any kind of speed with negative caster

SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES..... THEY ARE NOT REALLY GOOD FOR
ANYTHING... BUT THEY STILL BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN YOU PUSH THEM
DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS.
