Update on my manual R and P steering install from Unisteer.

Well, it seems my rack came with the wrong inner tie rods. They sent me longer rods last week and out of nowhere the correct outer rods arrived yesterday. I had to cut the driver side outer and inner a little shorter to get close to the proper toe in.

There is 4.5 turns from lock to lock. The rack stops about 3/16" short of hitting the bump stops on the strut rod. There will be a small loss of turning radius. I am not sure how much yet because the car is not road ready yet. The install of the rack was straight forward but the rest was a little tedious only because the right parts didn't come in the first place. All in all I am satisfied because the unit is still considerably cheaper than the others.

This is the first time I had steering with the engine in place. Now, my tires hit the front on the fenders. Solution completed, problem found. I have 1" lowering springs on a 1" shelby drop with Wilwood discs on 8" wheels with 4.5" offset. The front sheet metal is off the car. I hope the valance pulls the fenders out a little or some fender rolling is in order. Bad luck or poor planning?
