The Pedders Street 1 addresses the foundational elements of the LX suspension.
Bumpsteer is reduced 75%.
Unwanted caster changes are reduce by 85%.
Large Toe-In and Toe-Out motion requires more steering wheel correction as you drive. Bumpsteer motion creates tire scrub. You can feel this in a demonstration. Standing with your feet parallel would be neutral toe. Pointing your toes toward each other is Toe-In. Pointing your toes away from each other is Toe-Out. Standing on concrete or asphalt, without lifting your heels or toes move your feet to Toe-In and Toe-Out several times. That grinding you feel through the soles of your shoes is Tire Scrub. Your LX is actually grinding away your tires as you drive. Installation of Pedders EP2113 Bumpsteer Correction Kit reduces Toe-In and Toe-Out from 15mm OE to 3mm Pedderised. As you drive there will be less steering correction required because the the toe no longer swings over a 15mm range. Your tires will last longer. The chart below shows the amount of height change in 10mm increments across and the bumpsteer vertically.
Using Pedders Streetable urethane, these bushes stabilize key elements of the suspension unlocking the performance of the Mercedes Benz.
There are significant bumpsteer changes in just a 40mm (1 1/2 inch) range up and down from at rest ride height. These changes occur hundreds and thousands V8 Supercar Series and Pedders of time as you drive in every day conditions. It is the normal motion of the suspension that creates these large changes. In OE configuration bumpsteer is measured to total 15mm. In this YouTube video you can see the wheels Toe-In and Toe-Out was the suspension moves through the bound (loading) and Rebound (unloading) over even the smallest bumps.
Each change in toe represents on the chart indicates the amount of bumpsteer / tire scrub occurring in 10mm increments. Reducing this range from 15mm to 3 mm adds thousands of miles to your front tire life while improving your driving experience. Installation of the EP2113 Bumpsteer Correction bushes requires an alignment as it will change the Toe setting. Pedders recommends a four wheel alignment whenever suspension repair or upgrades are made.
