Re: Tie rod questions
Body tube length of a MII rack is 19-1/2. The pivot points on the aftermarket universal crossmember I have out here are 22and 1/8 to 1/4 center to center.
I couldn't find either MII racks I have and have to figure out where I moved them to.
The Dakota rack I have measures right at 25 inches pivot point to pivot point as far as I can figure.
I still don't think the length of the actual rack is the issue on yours though. The tie rods appear to match the angle of the Control arms pretty well spot on. Spacing in/out from the crossmember to stay even with the ends of the steering arms might be an issue though. Some of the theories on that don't match my training at all. I may have to dig out a couple of my old auto mechanics text books and do some homework.
