Default Rack Attack vs. Steeroids.

I have searched previous threads but could use some help on a couple of topics.

1. Does anyone with the Rack-Attack have any bump steer issues? there does not seem to be any adjustment like the Steeroids heim joints offer, but I would prefer the typical tie rod set up. Also do heim joints hold up as well or offer any benefits over standard tie rod ends?

2. The steering shaft from VBP seems to be simpler with just single u-joints while the Steeroids has a double u-joint which might cause some binding. But, is there any geometry issues with the single u-joint from VBP or I would think that Steeroids would also just have single u-joints.

I also posted on the C2 site, but you guys tend to modify your cars a little bit more and , I would appreciate any insight that you may have to offer. Thank-you.

Both the Rack Attack and Steeroids use the double joint. I have installed both systems and the only difference between the two is the heim jointed end vs the tie rod end. Both systems work very well.
