Straightening out the Rack

The You-beaut RHD rack and pinion steering setup from RRS went in without a hitch, but the claim it would stop bumpsteer was just bullshit.

We had to modify the front arm height to ensure it aligned with the rear. Otherwise the tracks were not going to be anything near correct!

Now at least the beast really will steer without spreading her wheels on the bumps.

Will be great to steer around the carpark with power again. The guy who did the RHD conversion talked me into not putting power steering back in. Probably because he just didn't want to go through the hassle of setting it up.

With this stuff in place I am expecting it to steer like a Ferrari and handle less like a jelly fish. Still have to replace the sway bars etc, but lets just see if there is any money left when all this stuff is in!
