Description
Bump steer refers to the change in toe as your suspension moves through its range. A lot of bump steer can lead to unpredictable handling as the front wheels basically steer themselves when you hit bumps or the car rolls in a corner.
When you change the ride height of a car, you can introduce bump steer. The Miata is pretty good in this regard, but if you want to go beyond "pretty good" here's your solution.
These tie rod ends were introduced in 1993 on the LE model, to compensate for the lowered suspension on that car. They were also used for the 1994-97 R package cars. The stud is about 3/16" longer than the tie rod end used on other Miatas. It's a good match for our FM springs or a coilover set to a reasonable ride height. If you're slammed, they may not be enough for you.
Includes all hardware needed for installation in case your stock nuts are all rusty.
Mazda genuine part NO21-32-280A with extra hardware. Fits all 1990-05 Miatas. Sold individually, two needed per car.

These tie rod ends put the bow on my NA suspension upgrade, essentially adding an R Package refresh to my older BRG. No bump steer and extremely confident in the turns for both the highway and autocross.
Easy to install. Keep in mind if you don't already have r-package tie rods you'll need an alignment after install, as the different geometry means none of the "tricks" work. Less twitchy over bumps on a decently low na.
Installed at the same time as other suspension components so it's hard to account for what's doing what, but it does its job. Quick shipping and they are always helpful if you have them on the phone. Thank you!
