TRZ Motorsports Bump Steer Kit for Stock Steering - Factory Spindles (1978 - 1988 Chevy Malibu - G-Body) - 319-202-2
Bump Steer Correction Kit for 78 - 88 Malibu (G-Body)
The TRZ Motorsports Bump Steer Kit is designed for 1978 - 1988 Chevy Malibu G-Body cars using factory or aftermarket non-TRZ spindles with stock-length tie rods. Lowered G-Body cars typically develop unwanted toe change through suspension travel, and this kit corrects that by replacing the factory tie-rod ends with a fully adjustable chrome-moly system.
TRZ clarifies that "factory spindles" also includes aftermarket non-TRZ spindles. TRZ-specific spindles use a TRZ steering arm allowing longer tie rods, but this version is engineered for **factory-style spindle geometry**.
Adjustable tie-rod height at the spindle lets you dial in proper steering geometry and minimize bump steer. The kit includes chrome-moly rod ends, LH/RH adjusters, 6061 aluminum spacers, and new inner tie rods. The stock tapered spindle/steering-arm hole must be drilled to 1/2" to accept TRZ hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to drill the factory spindle?
Yes. The spindle's tapered hole must be drilled to 1/2" to use the TRZ hardware.
Is this required for lowered Malibu G-Body cars?
Yes. Lowering changes steering geometry, and this kit provides the tie-rod height adjustment needed to correct bump steer.
