Thread: Steer shaft routing through frame 1937 Buick

Thanks to all for the discussion.
Sorry for the confusion. The modeling of the tie rods is not accurate because that did not pertain to my question. I'm building a variation of the suspension upgrade described in the following Wikis:

Actually was lucky enough to e-mail with Don Wallace, the author of the Wikis before he passed away.
The model shows an accurate model of the center take off (CTO) Rack and Pinion that I have already purchased. The outer tie rods will connect from the steer arms. Inner connection is with ball joint end that will be centered on a point that lines up with the lower control arm pivot axis.
That way when the lower arms goes up in a bump, the tie rod should not be effected. The bracket in the center of the R&P will need to be modified, or replaced, to accomplish this.
Will be mocking this all soon and plan on measuring for bump steer before parts are welded in place.
Thanks
