Interested in your power steering investigations. Not many front mount racks out there, eh? I think to get as close as you can to factory geometry you need to keep the tie rods the same length as the standard ones. To acheive that you would need to shorten the rack. Have you looked at the feasability of that on either rack? You might be able to just shorten the left hand end. You might be able to reduce the stroke by shortening the rack more than the housing. That would change the centre position of the rack. Is that a problem? Why does the mx rack have to be mounted off centre? That just makes your bump steer problems worse with unequal length tie rods. You could check the bump steer standard and with a shorter tie rod (longer rack) by pulling the spring off and jacking the suspension up and down with a plate on the hub and 2 dial indicators. To check with a shorter tie rod just wind the tie rod end onto the tie rod if it will go far enough and turn the steering so that the inner ball joint is where it would be with the steering centred and a longer rack. The geometry may not degrade as much as you think. Where are the suspension gurus? Looking forward to more feedback And what about the rear mount rack? How feasible is that?
