I have a friend thats setting up the steering on his 52 chevy and hes having problems with the tires toeing in badly at full lift, which is app. 12 inches. First I can't seem to find the diagram of the control arm pivots in relation to the tie rod end when viewed from the front. I have it at home but it doesn't help him out any there. Second, where should the rack be mounted height wise, close to the lower control arms, parrallel, or what? I know that ideally the rack pivots should fall in the imaginary plane of the UCA pivot and the LCA pivot but how far up or down the imaginary plane should they fall? Currently the rack is on the same plane as the lower control arms. I suggested that he move it up to see if it helps the problem. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks!

Theres one more diagram that is drawn as if you are looking through the front of the car.
