What do you think would happen if you used a rack in the front with a intermediate steering bar mounted perpendicular to the LCA right underneath them that could then pick up a short steering arm in the rear in the stock location?

You probably wouldn't believe it....but I tried this set up some 20 years ago. I STILL have the pivot shafts / arms I had fabbed.

it just turned into a Rube Goldberg set-up....ackerman was solved , but bumpsteer was a M.F. The pivots (new inner tie rod) would have to be precisely in the same location as the drag links puts the factory pivots.....difficult to place the pivots where needed.

I think you would still need a front steer (pinto / Mustang) rack and not a rear steer Omni rack.

well it was just something that popped in my head lol.

mine too.....one of those "looks good on paper" ideas.

I found this in storage while digging around this afternoon for some other 20 year old stuff.
This is part of the "experiment" Denny was talking about. I'm surprised he remembered it!
