For a couple of years the corolla had over half an inch of bump steer on both sides. After getting it down to around 1-2mm the result was around 0.25 seconds faster.

The best way to describe it is it is like replacing totally worn out bushes and joints. The car was much easier to place in a corner, felt more predictable and generally inspired more confidence, hence I felt I could push closer to the limit.

Keep in mind that my cars lap times where almost totally dictated by rear end grip, this was a good improvement for a weekends work and a couple quid.
