I also run Flaming River racks in my Foxes, with skinnies OR wide front tires. Doesn't bother me. I guess I'm just used to it now.

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

That's just because you're so buff from working out at the gym all day. Eat a cheese steak or something for heavens sake man!

Did your power steering shaft and tie rods work with this rack?

When you bought the tie rods did you buy them for a car with power steering or a car without?

No, I'm 99% sure the thread on the tie rods is different from factory to the manual racks. That's why most companies have bumpsteer kits for Manual Racks and a different part number for power racks.
