[GALAXIE] Bumpsteer kits/problems for lowered Galaxies???

[BAVA17 at aol.com]

I lowered my '65 Galaxie Ned Jarrett replica by cutting the front and rear  
coil springs. I wanted the car to look like a racecar so it does sit pretty 
darn  low. After I lowered it, when I get ao about 30 MPH, it starts to dart all 
over  the place. Everytime I hit a small bump (constantly), it jerks to one 
side or  the other. The suspension is all new, totally rebuilt. 
I read where it could  possibly be a bumpsteer issue, since the car is 
lowered and now the angle of the  tie rod is different.
SO....I put a set of stock springs back in the front  (raised it back to 
stock height) and drove it down the road with no problems. No  darting, no jerking.
SO....I guess it is a bumpsteer/tie rod  issue.

Does anyone have any experience with the bumpsteer kits sold for  lowered 
Mustangs and such?
Could I modify one to fit my Gal?

Thanks  for youe help,
Steve  Bava
