    Maybe blackhawke88 was using that particular picture as a reference just to show what bump steer looks like..... and nothing else

    Jusy from those 2 pictures there is about 1.5-2" of toe on just that side. Look how much the front of the tire is pushed out at bump

    ...too much shit to list.

    Well then what point are you trying to prove?
    You can see it's clearly toed out at bump even without a tape measure.

    ive finally come to the realization that everyone on here is on here just to argue.

    Aaron pointed out it means nothing without the other wheel being installed so it might as well have been dropped at that.

    So how can anyone accurately judge it then.

    guess i got a little too excited and stirred the shit pot again.

    Really? It's not about arguing. You're the one that posted pictures and said "to all those curious"...and then followed it up with those are stock spindles so we should expect bump steer. Which was what I was asking. What was your goal of the pictures to start with?

    To Aaron's point, you need both tires to measure overall toe. But if you're looking at one side and it visually changes toe from droop to bump....you've got bump steer (pushing out) on that side.

    With the picture that aaron posted. The horrible bump steer due to damaged steering arm. is not how engage bump steer is. like pointed out many times before that picture has been used over and over to depict how engages kits bump steer is. Just showing people how it looks with stock spindles is all.

    also take note the pictures were taken at different angles.

    Wasn't this picture from the More 500? Which was before the race of the picture that Aaron posted where the arm got bent...from pre-running?

    i'm not sure i understand your point, i'm just putting out a reminder to overbuild your cage.
    Yes i do understand that he almost died, and i did see the full movie, awesomeness and stupidity in one, i found it pretty cool.

    My bad, I thought you were using it as an example on how a well built cage saves your ass.

    Yeah, awesome attempt but horribly stupid at the same time. I'm all about that 7-person bus jump though!
