importance of tie rods position corvette c5 suspension???
(OP)
I would like to ask if it is acceptable to have the tie rods (inner outer) "bent" toward the front about 2 or less inches away from the rack "line". I am putting a corvette c5 suspension in a fiero and the fiero rack is not in straight line with the corvette spindles.... so i am wondering if i can have the tie rods moved a little. I will make sure that the rack and tie rods are the right hight with the mounting points with the spindle for sure....
Thank you for your help!!

The most I've seen is about 8 mm, or 5/16".

Having just been under my C5 to replace the rack, I will also say that your present rack position appears too high compared to a C5.
Did you also check that the inner tie rods are in the same position. It's not as simple as just putting the parts "in line" with each other. The length of the rack needs to be the same too.
Since you are fabricating anyways, why not just put the C5 rack in the right position and then make a new steering linkage? It appears you have lots of space for the proper rack location.
