lowering the unit would put the r&p at a more advantages angle to the a-arms but in this case I don't have the room to lower the rack. I only have a 16" wide area of space. that sounds like a bunch but the steering shaft, pedals, mounting brackets and linkage points plus my big feet have already used up the space. I have the feeling the tie-rod pivot points are simply too far away from the a-arm pivot points during full lock. The a-arms and tie-rods are swinging on two un related arcs while in this position The diminsions of the whole front end is exactly the same as in my other yerf and that one works perfectly. The only difference is the length of that rack rod and the pinion box being shifted to center aprox. 1 inch. I would think the lateral positon of the box should't have any effects as long as the tie rod pivot points end up in the proper postion at full lock.
