I have a rack & pinion on my car. Granted my whole front suspension set up is a bit different, but I mounted the rack to the axle itself and I use a slip joint out of a '95 Mustang's steering linkeage (at least I think that's where I got it ). The slip joint allows the axle and rack to move without affecting the steering. So I have no bump steer. I can't imagine it'd work well without the slipjoint. I don't have major mileage on my car, but so far its working out really well!

An old picture (its painted now):

info from the Stovebolt site about a R/P on a str8 axle.
u mite want to talk to the last poster in the 1st post (Seon) he says he put a MG rack on his & i quote him

Back in '68 I installed an MG R&P on my '31 Chevy Sedan. Drove it till '82 when I retired the car. I never had bump steering problem. I still have the sedan and will one day get it back on the road. I'll up date the R&P with a power steering
