Lowered front suspension/bump steer

[VeeDubMan]

I've fitted anti-bump steer bushes and castor shims on lowered bugs before but completely forgot the same issue could exist on a lowered bay.

Is it the norm to fit the bushes (relocate the track rod under the steering knuckle) if you're lowering the front? The very short distance I drove mine (before the gearbox got stuck in 2nd) wasn't a pleasant experience with lots of bumps and knocks. Upon inspection, it looks like the knocks were where the track rods had hit the chassis.

Suspension is Red 9 EZ Rider.

So who has fitted bump-steer bushes? Are they needed only below a certain drop in height?

When fitting dropped spindles the track rods are ran upside down.
