Bump steer can only be fixed by leveling the tie rods. Proteges are very susceptible to bump steer due to the tie rod being on top of the spindle, rather than below it. I'm gonna try and get some kind of adjustment going

 

[WillD]

That's not the only thing you can do to fix it... you can just raise the ride height

But changing the angle of the tie rods is one of the other ways to correct or alleviate bump steer. On the Miata for example, many people use the tie rod ends from the '93 LE (which was the lowest Miata from the factory) and then supplementing that with spacers to achieve a more optimum angle.

17x8 Rota Grid
+30 front +35 rear
205/40/17

I think I'm only about -1.5* camber in the rear. Don't remember what it is up front though. I hardly rub at all at that height.

 

[cholland]

i think you need new front fenders..

 

[rar40941]

Where did u get that bumper latch

 

[INeedMoarLow]

I agree on the fenders... next time use a bat or phone books or your Jack handle. I have the same issue on one of mine.. you learn the hard way real quick
