Does anyone have any issues with their suspension while driving your 510 on the freeway or on crappy roads

Also should my outer tie rod where it bolts to my steering knuckle sit under it or over it?

Does anyone know exactly what alignment my specs should be or ideally what would be best for my set up? And I’m not super low at all with no stretch tires. Currently I took off my 5mm spacers up front and it cleared my wilwood big brake kit. As I was watching a YouTube of bump steer it seems to me adding washers under my outer tie rod would help fix my bump steer? Since the angle of my outer tie rod became bigger when my car was lowered? And adding 5/8” washers will help correct the angle of my outer tie rod? I don’t feel my steering wheel move whenever I hit a bump it’s that my car wants to go in the same direction of the grooves on the road.

Still don’t know how to post pictures I just took…

 

 

They way I do it is email them from my phone to my computer and choose the "large" size then when I post from my computer I use the photos from my email and use the paperclip button and add them to the post.

You gotta measure the bump steer with those gauges to know what it's doing.  We need pictures to know exactly what's going on.

So I went to an alignment specialist and they fixed my steering issue. I took my front sway bar off and changed my rca to normal mode from negative camber mode. Which now the only camber adjustment is from my camber plate! My front camber is -1.3, and rear toe in 1/16” rear camber is -2. I can finally drive my car the way I want to drive it…. at WOT! Jk not really… but I do want to thank everyone who replied and helped me out in every way. I am truly grateful for this Datsun 510 community and the members who know this car from the inside out. I am a mechanic and smog tech for 15 years but no longer do either but still hold a valid ca smog and repair license and ase 6, 8 and L-1 which are required to do smog repairs. But this forum rocks and thank you again!
