I shortened a steering rack for my project.

Here are step by step instructions on how I did it on my blog

If you 're modifying steering, Woodward Precision Power Steering has very useful info on dimensioning a rack, Ackermann, and bump steer - all written up in the on-line catalog. Carroll Smith explains bump-steer adjustments very clearly. However, even though all is well written, getting to the point where you understand what to do is pretty heavy going.

Have received feedback that it would have been better to cut the ends and retap them. Good advice.
