As near as poss the ball joints on the ends of the rack should intersect with the top and bottom wishbone fulcrum points. As suspension goes up and down there should in theory be no affect on the steering geometry.
http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...5R94akKxHGBbEQ By shoving the rack over you are in affect making one steering arm long and one short. Bob

Bummer, didn't think that would work. So I guess the culprit is likely to be the diagonal is too far over into the engine bay?? Did a bit of digging and thinking and I wonder if my problem is my column is out of a later sierra with power steering which has a different shape at the end and the spline to fit onto the rack is different because of this. Apparently earlier sierra columns without power steering have a spline which fits straight onto an escort rack. I had to get one of these http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product...ducts_id=13580 and part of the problem originally was the part that connects onto the column fouls on the diagonal

Unless they have a triangle end then it won't really attach to the column though
I was thinking would it work to increase the height / angle of the rack mount to get the rack a bit higher to give me more clearance as the diagonal slopes outward so to speak?

Why put the triangle end at the steering rack?
The triangle end attach to the steering side of things. I had recently installed my steering unit (442E chassis) using Sierra column and Escort Mk2 rack. Here is a link how I did mine if you missed it. http://www.haynes.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=6843
