Default 2007 Burb 2" lowering springs=bump steer??

My good friend installed a pedders drop kit on his 07' LTZ 4x4 suburban.

He didn't like the ride with the pedders struts, so he put new stock struts back on front , and kept the drop springs front and rear .

Now he still has bad bump steer on rough roads , any fixes for this ?

Thanks for any help guys !!

What do his tie rod angles look like? Has he had it re-aligned since this last go-round?

definitely have alignment checked.

he may also need a rear adjustable panhard bar as if you lower or raise the rear without adjusting the bar up/down, it will need an adjustable one to get the correct track alignment.

but definitely start with the standard alignment first.

I've had the alignment done. Camber was the only spec out but it was very close.

Tie rod angles don't really look too bad. Hmmm...

What are you calling bump-steer? Hit a bump with one front wheel and the truck jumps to one side? Or just jerks the steering wheel in your hand? Or is the whole truck jumping off the ground and bouncing sideways?
