Is the factory position of the steering rack ideal on a TR5-6, or can it be improved on?
EG...if I was to draw a straight line across between the steering arm/tie rod ends with the car sitting at my preferred ride height, what is the ideal rack position.
Higher/lower...forward/back from the line, keeping in mind possible bump steer.

I would check with RevingtonTR. I used their kit on my TR3, and if anyone knows the answer for your set up, it’s them.
