Racing Green anti bumpsteer wheel spacers

[astonman]

Anyone tried these on a Tcar? Do they work?

If you can track him down try and spend your money with Matt who used to work at silverstone performance, it was he who came up with the spacer idea and many people have jumped on the bandwagon selling spacers since then. Someone said they thought Matt had set up somewhere working on cars so it'd be worth trying to find him and spend your money with him rather than a copy-cat. Maybe someone will read this thread and tell you where he is now.

There was a thread on here a while back, maybe five years ago. Become familiar with the development of the car; it was something like the hub design changed and so the wheels were mounted further in and the spacers corrected the change. Then there's also a spacer to raise the height of the rack (Str8six? X-works? Glow worm may have had it done.)

Qualified with "I'm mechanically inept" BUT I think there are two solutions:

1) There are spacers that alter the tie rod position on the hub. This works for early Tuscans but I BELIEVE was felt unhelpful for Tam/T350 onwards.

2) Topcats sorted my T350 with new camber plates that altered the caster angle - that also eliminated bump steer.

Does that help?

Racing Green just have 3 mm wheel spacers,supposed to improve bump steer.maybe it's a scrub radius thing rather than specific bumpsteer?

You shouldn't need these for the Tamora, T350 or Sagaris.

Just get your car setup properly e.g. Ride height etc.

Ummm,well they are recommended for the Tamora and T350!

My advice would be to get your car setup properly, I thought about these a while ago too, was told by two specialists they weren't needed for my T350. Tbh I hadn't a clue what bump steer was at the time, read forum posts and convinced myself it must be a good idea. After I realised it was rubbish for the later T's. Got it setup properly and it drives on rails. Setup does not mean a geo, it's ride height the works, rske, corner weighting etc.
