Kiss- Keep. It. Super. Simple ! A Steering Rack Conversion Has Nothing To Do With Overall Length! Its All To With Rack Height And The Measurement From The Lower Control Arm Inner Bolts And Making Sure The Chosen Rack Has The Steering Arm Swivel Joints Exactly The Same Length. If These Are Not The Same, Then" Bump Steer" Occurs. Tyre Wear And Tyre Screaching Become Obvious! When Take Off And The Front Lifts, The Wheels Will Toe Out, Then When You Brake And The Front End Dives, The Wheels Will Toe In. The Rack Must Be Shortened In The Centre And The Steering Rack Ends Lenthened, By Fabricating New Ones! Is The Commodore Rack Mounted Behind The Crossmember Or In Front?
