RX3 steering rack tech question
I have a Summit Ford Pinto rack in my 72.
heres the problem.... the rack itself has 5.25 inches of travel on the rack.
now my tires at full lock of the rack only have what looks like 25 degrees of angle wich sucks.
I called the company and they told me you can shorten the housings and the rubber stoppers then lengthen the tie rods to make more angle.
is there a way to figure out how much length extra i need to gain another X amount of angle?

I posted in that other thread where you asked the same question, talk to Billy at Respeed, he had to figure all this out for the FB rack kit he offers. I just installed the new arms he supplied us to correct the same problem.
