I had a lot of trouble finding a rack to fit as the track width at the front of the Crown is quite narrow. The rack I used is from a Daewoo Lanos.

The Lanos rack is a centre take off type. I made up a plate from 5mm steel which is bolted to the movable part of the rack. I then mounted a solid AL tube to this which is cut to a length which will minimise bump steer (well, that's the theory - yet to prove it in reality). The tie rods are screwed into the ends of the tube. Finally I used a linear bearing to support the plate so it will stay in place during loading.

I'm going to pull it out so I can repaint it once I get the suspension issues sorted. I'll post some pics then so you get a better idea.

Cheers,
