Escort rack Sierra uprights

Hi,

I'm trying to find out if other people have much bump steer when using sierra uprights with the Escort mk2 rack..

My front end is almost all together now, when I move it throught its travel the toe changes quite alot from bottom to the top of the suspension travel..maybe +/- 5 degrees.. I havn't measured anything yet, but is does seem a bit too much.. Rescued attachment Frontend.jpg

Going purely off the picture, the joint between the rack and steering arm seems well outside the line between the upper and lower wishbone - chassis joints.

after lookng at this photo for a bit, maybe I'll try swaping the steering rose joint to the upper side of the steering arm.. see how that affects it..

I've just swapped the rosejoint from below to above the steering arm, and it seems to be much much better.. much less change in toe.
