I have a T-Bird power rack/new that I`m installing in a project and I can`t mount the rack high enough because of the engine. So I have "off-set" the inner tie-rods up and forward 1-1/4" with and adaptor. They will be connected to each other with a link. I see that some of the UNISTEER kits as well as some other brands do this too,however some have rollers to support the link between the inner rods,and some don`t. So what I would like to know is can/will a rack tolerate the load being off-center unsupported?? 70` Cuda`,440 6BBL Jerico,Dana 4.56 Still on 93 Pump Gas 9.87 @ 136/1.31-60ft.`09 Mopar Nationals PASSON PERFORMANCE "Stick-Shift" Champ! 2013 StickShift Challenge Winner@ Mopar Nationals!
