r&p in a 53 stude

the first thing you need to find out is if the rack will work with your suspension/ steering geometry. your inner tie rod ends on the rack need to line up with an imaginary line that bisects the inner pivot points of your upper and lower control arms.here is a page from heidts that explains it way better than me. http://www.heidts.com/heisinfo.htm. I know this- if you don't follow these design parameters your car will not only be unpleasant to drive, it will be unsafe as well.
