Alignment problem

[S60Yatt]

Vtl - I believe you - I may be envisioning the brush guard piece on an XC90 - or another car.

OP - do your part numbers match for the steering rack? Do they match for the inner AND outer rack ends?

How did the alignment sit before you replaced the rack?

I pulled up some pictures and it makes sense to cut the inner tie rods as a work around.

Everything is good now. They said the reason was I installed the steering rack while it was rotated more towards one side and not in the center. I put it on exactly as I got it and it seemed like it was in middle when I compared it to my original steering rack so I didn't think anything of it.
