Relocate your stock electric steering rack forward 33mm with this crossmember mod, which is very similar to the 36mm seen on our angle kit’s rack to inner tie rod forward offsetter. However leverage on the rack is reduced & it’s life expectancy is increased making this mod worth all the effort. Use FDITR494UP tie rods to make up for the length lost when removing offsetters. After the CM Center Section is in, bumpsteer is less progressive & can be eliminated by adjusting washer stack height between outer tie rod & knuckle. We’ve confirmed clearance with Both LS Swap & the stock exhaust / oil pans despite the giant reinforcement plate on the front side. The 1/4” of stock pan clearance may not be enough one day on blown stock motor and subframe mounts but you should have those things sorted out before this more advanced mod. This ZNC6CS plate will not need the steering shaft extension as seen on other cars because it has a relatively vertical shaft so this rack forward position is more of an angle change on the U joint than telescoping on the shaft so these OEM parts can accommodate both movements freely. V8 swap header tube(s) will need customized for shaft clearance. Our solid bushings require a little grinding on the OEM lock ring to match the shape in the rack casting. Install the centered steering shaft on the centered rack before securing the 2 bolts through our solid rack bushings to the crossmember plate.
