Whiteline – Roll Centre/Bump Steer Correction Kit (Part No.KCA472)

Roll Centre/Bump Steer Correction Kit

from

$249.99
A must for lowered vehicles, Whiteline roll centre and camber adjusting correction kit, is designed to correct roll-centre geometry using specially engineered ball-joints, whilst at the same time allowing fine tunning of camber settings with up to a degree of negative camber gain, perfect for track days and spirited driving! Raising the front roll-centre (along with negative camber) results in a substantial increase to front roll resistance and a significant reduction in suspension compression on the outside front tyre during cornering. The result is more even weight distribution and improved tyre contact ultimately improving front end grip, cornering speeds and tyre life when driving the vehicle to it’s potential.

Product Features:
  • Engineered to alter/ eliminate unwanted bump steer, optimising the vehicles steering characteristics.
  • Engineered to rectify roll centre on lowered vehicles, optimising the vehicles steering characteristics.
  • Protective E-Coat coating acts as a hard skin that is much tougher than conventional paint allowing this product to withstand the toughest conditions and resist corrosion for years to come.
