KE10 - KP61 front end conversion

For all the suspension/steering gurus out there, I understand that if I was to do a rack and pinion steering conversion, the inner ball joints should rotate around the same axis as the lower control arms ie pivot from the same spot when the wheels are in a straight line, but what I dont understand is why when I measured up my ke10 last night, I discovered that the steering arms actually pivot closer together than the lower control arms. From memory its about 2cm shorter either side, wouldnt this cause bump steer? Or would it have been designed like this at the factory taking into account the effects of other things, and they were actually made to pivot differently for a reason?
Will it be a problem if i make mine pivot inline, the way it should be? or is that bad?
Stewart, your a gun at this kind of stuff. any ideas?? Im looking at doing a ke20 front end conversion and using a rack & pinion and crossmember out of a KP61. That could be hard though considering ive never seen one in Australia..
That brings me to my next question, Anyone know where I could locate a complete KP61 front end in Australia?
Cheers, Nathan
