I have done some research and there are many threads on r&p steering. But I still have some questions; do I want a center load rack or an end load rack? ?? I have an opportunity to by an entire lower engine cradle out of a 99 Grand AM GT ..CHEEP!!!. It is my understanding that the GT’S have less turns lock to lock?? So is that good or bad for the woods?? Also when I mount it; close to the beam as possible right?? Tie rods straight and level with the front suspension at half travel??? Thanks in advance!!!!!

Center load is stronger and will have less bump steer problem.

General rule for best results is as follows:

Center load - Trailing arm style supension (covers most Woodsbuggys)
End Load - "A" Arm style supension (used mostly for Sandrails)

Looked it up on Alldata and sure enough this style is end load. Damn it!!! The entire cradle is in a guy's yard and just wants to get rid of it. It also has the steering shaft too. O well...thanks guys at least now I know exactly what I'm looking for!!

An end load rack out of a 99 grand am is EXACTLY what i have. If i had any more travel i would need a center load but as is works fine. I want longer arms and more travel up front so i will probably switch to center load but i'm still going to use a gm rack. I have'nt been a bit sorry for the swap and if your happy with stock arms and travel you should be fine with the 99 r&p.
