    I have a 1963 Mercury Comet With a J.P.L. power rack conversion that doesn't have enough steering - steers way too wide.
    I have 1979 Ford Granada spindles and disc brakes. It take takes 3 tries just to make it into my garage. I didn't do the conversion, but can see nothing wrong.
    The travel on the rack goes all the way to the stops but needs at least an inch more travel for the wheels to go to the end of their normal travel. The steering is centered and I have equal lack of steering both left and right.
    I called J.P.L. and they were no help (told me I had the right kit). Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it? I don't care if I have to buy a new rack. I just want the car to make it around a corner on the first try. I think a bus can make a sharper corner.
