rob, what do you mean by another notch at the end?

 

You know .. the rack has notches in which the pinion gear interacts .. when it gets to the last notch .. it has hit the limit of the turning radius.

Actually, the limit will comes from the iner tie rods hitting the rack. Manufacturers usually cut a few extra teeth in the rack so that it doesn't marr the gear.

 

You may be able to add a lock washer or two between the inner tie rod and the rack to gain some steering angle. You just want to make sure the ID of the lock washer fits on the thread and the OD isn't bigger than the steering rack OD. On my corolla it's 14mm lockwashers.
