<DIV>Depending how the tie rod ends are threaded onto the rack it might account
for the problem. Check and see if the exposed threaded area is relatively
equal. If not, what appears centered might not actually be. Your numbers
still add up to 3 turns and I believe that is correct. I doubt you could
get an additional 1/2 turn with a stop issue as there are only so many rack
teeth.</DIV>
<DIV> Regardless of what the rack is doing stop wise, at the least you
could turn the tie rod ends in opposing directions thus reducing turn capability
in one direction, while adding in the other. This is what is done to correct the
above problem. It has been well over 15 years since I worked on my rack.
Thus I don’t even recall the method of the rack stops. There are tension
springs/sliders and if they became loose it might cause the pinion to slip on
the rack??? Lastly, perhaps the rack was damaged and someone cut a portion off
to expose the tie rod end to clean threads? This could account for the condition
I mentioned above. On my rack the rod end had actually been broken and
someone hack welded an Alpine rod/tie rod on!</DIV>

<DIV>As far as I know the rack you need for Dale’s kit is the Older Midget rack
with the thicker tie rod threads. The newer Midget rack has much smaller
diameter tie rod ends (sadly I found out the hard way). Tom</DIV>
