Re: Rack N Pinion on stock xmember, again...

I have pics in my build thread, I did some research and what I found stated that the pivot of the tie rods need to intersect the upper and lower pivot points of the control arms. this can be difficult as it can interfere with the engine in order to get it high enough in the chassis. This is were a shorter rack would help. Also where it is mounted in relation to the steering arms will affect how much ackerman effect is acheived. If it is mounted in front of the crossmember it needs to be mounted as far back as possible in relation to the steering arms. Not exact but hope it helps.
