Or rack and pinion location in relation to the cross member, Weird. To go back to your question I know of several SS/AH racers who have asked about using rack and pinions in there cars. I was told they were told NO, period! Crazy... I say if it could be a bolt on unit then yes.

Yep, the FWD cars have the freedom to use a manufactured or fabricated crossmember and lower control arms when the RWD are not allowed. The aftermarket has some good pieces available from BMR, AJR, QA1 and others for RWD cars that probably would make them safer than the old OEM parts that may eventually need repairs or replacement.
If it was allowed on RWD, you could also expect some o
f the ADRL, NMCA and NMRA cars cross over and race in some of the NHRA classes.
