Suspension Secrets Adjustable Bump Steer Tie Rod Ends - Porsche 981 Cayman S

Lowering the front ride height on a Porsche 981 Cayman S can introduce bump steer and vague steering at high loads. These adjustable tie rod ends let you dial out bump steer, restoring direct, predictable steering for track and spirited driving.

Performance gains / why it is needed

Lowering the front end changes the steering geometry and can make the wheels toe in or out during suspension travel. Adjustable tie rod ends let you return the steering arc to correct geometry, eliminating bump steer, reducing tire scrubbing, and improving stability under braking and cornering.
