My thoughts too. If you want to replace a steering system the design has =
to carefully consider bump steer. To get into the ballpark the length of =
the rack and it=E2=80=99s installation height have to be deigned so that =
the pivoting joints are in line with the upper and lower suspension =
joints (both inner and outer) and the angle of the links is the average =
of the upper and lower suspension arm angle.=20
