The dropped pitman arm from a Comuta-car will improve it somewhat. The
spindles of the Comuta-car also had longer steering arms which slows down
the steering response and reduces the apparent bump steer even more. I like
the faster steering on the Citicar better. The newer pitman arm is a good
compromise. Different wheel and tires also help.
