Rack and Pinion

So... as you might already know, parts on these cars are not straight up bolt-ons. Seems there are a few issues with a power steering version Comet. The tie rods are way too short. They need to be replaced with manual steering 1965 Comet / Mustang versions.

Parts required are:
Moog ES2004S
Moog ES336R
Moog ES713 The new rack and pinion went in, however there is major bump steer. We need to align the rack with the tie rod ends to fix this. The alignment must also be adjusted to run radial tires. As much caster as possible for the 1960's vehicles. Mine is running close to 3 degrees vs the 1 degree factory setting. BUENO NO BUENO
