A Body Rack and Pinion Converison

You fellows ever hear of anything called bump steer, or Akermann compensation angles? There are rigid laws of suspension geometrics. Ignore them at your peril.
I watched a guy at the track last year who had a setup just like the one I'm looking at in these pictures, who only escaped shiny side down by a miracle. He hit a dip in the track just past the timing lights at over 120. He said it felt like a giant had grabbed the steering wheel and whipped it from side to side. Scared the crap out of him. Very lucky that's all it did. I can tell just by looking at these tie rod angles that this setup is a out by a mile. I'm sure the owner won't appreciate these comments but if it saves his life I suppose it will have been worthwile.

i have been running my setup at the track for a couple years now. runs 112 mph all day long. track is rough. drive it on the street alittle. have never had this bump steering issue. i am not saying it won't happen. but i myself have no issues with my setup other than loss of some turning radius. i am not telling people to do this setup. was just sharing my work from a few years back. sure is nice to work on the car without all that damn rear steer and steering box out of the way...
