Yep...you are correct. I sent ModJr1 a message a few days ago.

I see Wehrs makes an adapter to put slotted ends on a standard rack....anybody use them?

It's gonna make your rack length a lot longer.

Use just one and shorten the tie rod? Shorten the rack and drill/tap a new hole?

Changing the tie rod length could mess up your bump steer more than this part fixes it.

Yeah you're correct.

Back in the early 80's I was rebuilding my '69 Galaxie late model into a Torino. the car was an old USAC car from '61... I installed a '65 front stub, used Impala spindles turned around to fit the Ford rear steering box.

I spent dozens of days on a graph chart and under that car figuring out how to get zero bump steer. When I got it right I fab'd a custom center line using .060 1" DOM and weld on shock lumps.

The car debuted at Chilton, WI's little 1/5 mile banked dirt oval (which I would promote at 7 years later). Anyway I ran a ten lap heat race pushing like a dump truck... when I pulled into the pits, and hit the trailer ramps, the center link fell off!

So much for zero bump steer AND light weight steering parts!
