Bump steer is defined as a change in toe as the suspension moves throughout it's range of motion. It has to do with the location and length of the tie rod in relation to the control arm(s). Excessive bump steer can cause unpredictable and unstable handling, especially over rough terrain.

Sorry for derailing your thread, back on topic!
