What is the effect on handling if I put spacer there?

Bump steer is an undesirable handling effect that occurs when a car’s front toe
angle changes as its suspension compresses or rebounds, from the position that
was pre-set using a setup station.
To reduce or eliminate bump steer, the angle of the steering rods must be changed.
This is easily accomplished by using shims between the outer steering rod ends
and the steering blocks.
Bump steer is a suspension tuning option commonly used in off-road RC racing
to change steering characteristics over rough and loose terrain. However, we
strongly recommend eliminating bump steer in touring car suspensions
Hoping this can help you, i normally use 0,5mm, my feeling is to have the steering rod more "flat" respect to the ground.
