Rack and pinion for balljoint front end?

Post by woodsbuggy1 »

What are you using for for rack & pinion with a balljoint front beam? I have a railbuggy with a fiberglass shell that needs some love, would like to find a front rack that is a fairly simple install, what are you using that works well on the street.
Thanks

On our class 9 race car we run a SACO rack on the ball joint front end.

Thanks for the info, I run a Saco copy in my off road buggy but can't use a center input rack in street buggy due to fuel cell location.
