I think Andy is getting confused with the extensions and what the book says on P76 about shortening the rack.

The reason for shortening the rack is to bring the centers of the ball joints in line with the suspension upper and lower pivots whilst in the straight ahead position. As such the steering should not toe in/out when the suspension is compressed whilst in a straight line.

But it's not necessary.
