What is this for?

[evil_twin]

So anybody know what these are for? Something about having a better turn in steering response and better oversteer? So if that was the case, why wouldn't someone make this for our car? Would this help with getting more steering angle?

[Farbin Kaiber]

extended length, externally supported lower ball joint? What is it on? (Guy is prolly trying to get the arms parallel with the road surface, or hyper extend for mad drift angle.)

Looks like an AWD vehicle.

I can't remember what car that is from, but I know a buddy of mine put it on his AE86. Would this help with steering angles? Is it possible to make something similar on our cars or no?

its for correcting steering angle, roll center and removing bump steer etc whatever was effected when lowering the car.
if you ask me though it looks pretty weak and i would remove it. the lca is supposed to be hard up against the bottom of the hub, not connected by a stick :S

It corrects the camber curve for a lowered vehicle. It won't do anything for bumpsteer, as that is caused by tie rod angle, not control arm angle.

correct.

Alright, makes sense now. Thanks!

I was looking up more on them and they were saying it helps with bump steer some how.

[SkinnyVT]

I would assume that they make a similar piece that would attached to the tie-rod end ball joint to correct bumpsteer.

Hmmm, I wonder if that would work with ours.

They are called roll center spacers, Lee sells them for E30 M struts. I purchased some for my car on 16"s.

[evil_twin]

So what differences did you notice with them?

[Aptyp]

it's to fix bump-steer on dumped cars.

At the moment Nothing, been driving my white one lately. I think by seat of pants from the one or two times after installed it seemed to turn in faster. But then again i had also just installed my J-Stock suspension which consists of anti sways and match rated shocks and springs plus I did -3 degrees of camber with crash plates.
