I'm using a non-powered Golf II rack that has a rack length of 21" so I suspect 22-23 balljoint to balljoint center.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the axis of the outer tie rod ball end stays in exactly the same axis as original, and the tie rod itself is relatively parallel to the control arms, and the inner ball joint on the rack has an axis that dissects the plane between the upper and lower control arm's inner pivot points, things should fall into place OK. I'm just theorizing here, because nothing I've read yet in suspension books deals with creating your own spindleIchanging the spindle steering arm pivot point).
What I have worried a little bit about is the brake caliper thickness causing me to make the new steering arm end pivot axis in a slightly different axis than the original. I don't know what that would do, and though I know moving it toward the the axle will increase my steering rate obviously, I don't know what other stuff will change.
