Quote: So using this theory my custom steering arms should sit outward closer to the wheel and tire to maintain the relationship with the rear axle/balljoint centerline correct? How much of a deviation from this line would be acceptable? On the rack mounting, rule of thumb is 3in from the rack centerline to the steering arm centerline correct?
The end of the steering are(outer tie rod end) you will have in line with the centerline of the lower ball joint.... that 3" on the tie rod end will work in a drag car(but it will still scuff on the turns) but you would like it straight
