With no specific knowledge of Rockets but just in general, I would guess the bump steer is off. Assuming the R&P body is located properly the "rack" itself would be statically farther to the left allowing it to steer farther to the right and less to the left. Are they significantly different in length?

Make sure no one converted it to blue front components

I know on the left side they call for a 14" rod and I run a 13" rod that's bc they use the small jam nuts with the 14" and as for the right side that is the side that's needs be stay the same all the time when your adjusting the toe always use the left front tie rod and leave the right side what they call for I know the blue is 19 7/8 center to center for the RF
