You guys that are front end experts;
I have a magnum force tubular race front end in my 68 440/505 fastback.
I have built a pair of strut rods for it to help surpport the lower control arm bolts (supposedly the weak point of the design).
The tierod angle runs down hill fairly hard to the outside , from the rack and pinion to the outside wheel end, at the heigth I`ve got it set up at.
I`m gonna say about 2? inches offhand.
"Would there be any benefit to cutting the attachments down to make them more level ?" ?????????

Not a road carver ,but a tool around in ur face hotrod w/ supposedly 755 h.p.---------
 
You say rack and pinion. Is this a whole front end system like Alterkion, Magnumforce, etc?

Are you seeing this with the car running driving condition at ride height with alignment?

Tie rod angle is not so much the issue. It’s the arc the tie rod travels compared to arc the lower control arm travels. That’s bump steer.

Need to measure it. You might be able to bounce your front end on an alignment rack to see if you are way out of whack. Take your shocks off and you’ll be able to bounce the front end easier/more
