I am building my tube chassised, V8 powered, Mustang II front suspension Volkswagen Squareback body, hot rod. I have a question on the steering rack (being this is my first project like this, I have many questions). How do I get the rack in the straight ahead position? That is, on a VW steering box setup, there was a mark on the pitman arm and on the steering box you would line up, but on a rack, I am unsure. How are the steering stops figured? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I would check with a shop that builds chassis for a living. You could check with Rob at NO Limit Engineering in Riverside, CA. He is very knowledgeable about suspensions and a nice guy. He can probably point you in the right direction.

Thanks. Do you know if he has a web site / email address?

You can just look up No Limit Engineering on your computer and get his web site.

If I understand you right, you're simply trying to determine where center of the travel is for the rack. I'd just go lock to lock, count the turns, divide by two and back up that many turns from one stop or the other. That should put the rack in the center.

Thanks. I'll give that a try. Another dumb question. How is the steering stops figured out? That is lock to lock.
