After the spindles were fitted I did bump steer and have spaced it about half that amount for now
Don't know if it will work yet! Probably 12 months before it hits the track

Those spacers look about the same thickness as mine (I have forgotten the name of the brand of mine now, its been a while). Basically it matched the amount that the tie-rod ends drop when you do the tie-rod flip - so preserves the original a-arm and tie-rod parallelism. Somewhere around an inch I think, or a bit under.
No problems with off topic, I am the worst for it!
And I was also interested to see Chris
The bump steer isn't a factor of the amount of drop in the spindle, it is a factor of the drop in the chassis less the spindle drop
I have to run a minimum height, for all sprung components, so it is all part of that
Normally - not necessarily right, since ride heights vary - the steering arms are moved below the steering arm on the hub on a Mk1 and that's as far as it goes.
If course the spindle drop can differ to the steering arm drop because the wishbone and steering arm move through different arcs.
But I am still massively puzzled by those steering arm spacers! Unless someone has been using them on Golf Mk2 hubs fitted to a Mk1, but even then, I'm not sure it's the ballpark spacing..
