Even with the limited travel of the old leaf-spring suspension (+/- 1.5″ approximately), it looks like at full suspension travel; the steering would change by 1.8 degrees. That's too much, so I decided that I would need to mount the steering rack to the axle so that it moved up and down with the suspension, that way there is no bump-steer.

Ay caramba...
