That doesn't matter one bit as long as you aren't binding the tie rod stud while steering.
Bumpsteer occurs due to different arcs of the FLCA and tie rod(for a strut car like ours) during suspension travel. Once both pivots are in line with each other, they follow the same arc, and you don't have toe changes with suspension travel.
What do you think bumpsteer is, because that doesn't sound like what you're referencing.

i understand bumpsteer.
If you plot the points it makes more sense.
As the tie rod end is on such an angle your ackerman is at a different state from left to right lock, and different at wheels straight ahead.
You have to offset your inner mounts to match the ackerman you have reduced when adding knuckles.
If your steering arms arent the same length as your control arms you will have bumpsteer to begin with.
This kit states it has no rack spacers.
The next issue is the angle of the tie rod. Look at the wheels from lock to lock. This doesnt add bumpsteer no, but the steeriong ratio alters I should say. I don't think it would be a huge isse when these cars arent chasing full grip or accurate ackerman at such angles. What I was trying to say is, measure angle of each tyre like KPR do. But plot it every 10 degrees and youll see it changes at different rate to any other knuckle design.
As stated, these are still the best option I have found for drift cars.
Do all Americans get this angry on forums? Ive only used NNR and never seen such hate.
