I have a bloke who can shorten a steering rack so I can rear mount on my HR front end. Thought I'd get some other opinions so I rang around. I've had a few steering mobs tell me just to shorten the ends instead of cutting the centre part. Wouldn't I run into some issues if the ends don't pivot in similar angle to the lower wishbone?
If I am running the VT discs then how much over all does it need to be shortened?
Thanks in advance.......
of course it will bump steer draw your self a picture with a compass and think about it hence why you will get the bump steer.
Discs dont matter at all the rack mounts to the steering arm not the discs ;D
Stupid bump steer, Don't want that. It is just as I thought. Wonder why I was told by a steering mob just to shorten the ends?
Centreline of ack pivots need to be the same distance apart as the centreline of the lower wishbone bolts
