Manual Rack Users Inside... Trying to install a Flaming River rack and having issues hooking up the steering shaft linkage. No matter how I route, it hits the #1 header tube. Anyone have suggestions or pics?
Thanks!
Mikey

Re: Manual Rack Users Inside... Bump steer is the changing of toe thru out the suspension travel. All cars have bumpsteer but most cars dont carry the wheels either. On the 4th gens the rack conversions that I build takes this into account and offers adjustability. If you raise or lower the car you have to be able to adjust for this because the tierods get longer or shorter.
As for selling the bumpsteer kit without using my rack I can not do this. The liability is too much. Whose k-member are you using???
