I have to agree with Regan on this one. The turning radius was a good bit wider, but goes down track very well. I had fabricated another crossmember in front of the front suspension crossmember, due to my engine sitting low in the chassis. Finding the correct rack location for proper bump steer was time consuming. I tried the bump steer kits, and got scared of the size spacer required. As a result I spent more time moving and trying bump steer measurements until I was happy.
The new front suspension uses the same Mustang II rack and has less than an 1/8" of bump steer. It is just taking too long to come to market with the suspension. Paul Baxter
