Not Ranked
If you were to go to the original style rack there are a couple of issues in my opinion. One is the tie rods need to be shortened, the other is the racks are installed onto the frame with nutserts (as are the a-arms) which scares me. I would compare the distance across the tie rod inners and the total overall length to something like the Flaming River MGB/Cobra rack or maybe the Mustang II rack. It's that bump steer thing. The original Jag style u-joints are serviceable items like a driveshaft where you replace the cups and crosses. If that's what you have they are pretty easy to replace. Dan made a couple of good suggestions I use SNG Barret. Does it have the 3/4-48 splined steering shaft? If so the joints can also be replaced with Flaming River or Borgeson, all good quality stuff as you know.
