Frank,
The solutions given to your steering rack position are good ones and technically correct. On my build I had installed the panelling BEFORE I positioned the rack. So I wanted to get the hole right the first time. Several members sent me the technical stuff just like Doc's. It was all nice but I couldn't trust the numbers to be wrong. What I did, is to make a jig to show the location of the rack at one half inch intervals. I then attached the steering arm to each position and moved the suspension through it travel. I put a laser line level on top of the upright and adjusted the aperature to a single beam and marked the travel on the wall at one inch or so intervals for each hole. I finally got one of the traces to be vertical. That is the one that would eliminate the bump steer. Here are the pics of the operation. In the second one you will notice the wood taped to the panel. The jig would move as the suspension moved through its arc. So I taped it down to prevent movement.
