you had to go there, didn't you?

technical "bump steer" is a measure (paraphrased in sorts) of how a wheel will turn (inboard or outboard) when the wheel travels vertically.

the effect of bump steer, what you perceive when the wheel moves through that vertical travel is often referred to colloqually as "bump steer" and is that when a singular steer wheel travels vertically, it will affect the direction of travel of the vehicle.

If you hit a bump on the right side of the truck, and the truck wants to move to the right that is "bump steer" and the effect of it. wholly depending upon steering geometry, it is entirely possible for you to hit a bump on the right and have the vehicle want to move to the left as well.

Steering dampeners slow down the motion within the steering linkage thus slowing down, or rather limiting the effect. Larger tires, or rims which push the tire farther away from the hub tend to exaggerate the effect.

now go away.
