X-bird has the problem pin-pointed- I didn't even think to ask about the pivot point on the rack going beyond/inboard of the A-arm pivot point. That geometry is why my passenger side clevis bracket ended being longer,not because it was out of center. Also part of the reason why I eliminated the ball joints off the end of the rack was to get closer to the A-arm pivot point. If the tie-rod/steering arm travels beyond the A-arm pivot then your camber & caster alignment needs to change causing the condition you're having.

x-bird the aluminum steering arms/radius rods are pretty cheap ($10.-12.) at many of the racing sites, I bought what I thought I needed & extra's that were long and just cut one end, then taped the right-hand threads leaving the left-handers from the factory (LH end has that nice little notched ring on the end so you'll know which is which!!)
