the problem I was thinking about with a narrow front track, is the rack and pinion. I know the tie rods need to be the same length as the suspension. So to just narrow the track, suspension would just be closer together, but then the rack would be too wide. I couldn't just shorten the tie rod ends, then I would get some crazy bump steer.

So Now I was thinking, couldn't I just use a rack from a narrower car, anything with a manual steering. I know more converting of parts, what else would I run into? Tie rod ends that would match the spindle and thread onto the tierods, hmm.

Just thinking
