Hardrace RC/Bump Steering Correction Kit Fits Most Subaru Models | Roll Center Adjustment | Suspension Geometry Correction
Overview
The Hardrace RC/Bump Steering Correction Kit is designed specifically for Subaru enthusiasts who have lowered their vehicles and want to restore optimal suspension geometry. Lowering a Subaru often leads to decreased roll stiffness and altered steering characteristics due to changes in the suspension’s roll center. This kit addresses those issues by extending the ball joints to raise the roll center height and including extended tie rod ends to correct steering geometry, effectively minimizing bump steer.
Engineered with precision and premium quality components, Hardrace’s approach focuses on restoring the dynamic balance lost during lowering modifications. The kit’s ball joints and tie rod ends are crafted to exacting standards, ensuring durability and consistent performance. By correcting roll center height and steering angles, this kit stands out as a practical solution for Subaru owners seeking improved handling without compromising ride quality.
For Subaru models ranging from early 2000s WRX and STI to the latest Crosstrek and Outback, this correction kit enhances front-end grip and stability. The increased roll stiffness and minimized bump steer translate to more predictable handling characteristics, especially during aggressive cornering or uneven road conditions. This makes it an essential upgrade for lowered Subarus aiming to maintain sharp, responsive steering and balanced chassis behavior.
