The 1974 Panteras had the relocated rack from the factory. The car is not thrown off by bumps. But the front end has been lowered significantly more than the rear end. It has no positive caster, and due to this it has wonderful turn-in response. If I even think of turning left it goes left. "Twitchy-ness" may be a bad selection of words. I mean even on smooth roads, if I want the car to go straight, I must firmly hold the steering wheel precisely in the straight ahead position. The steering has no self-centering action. I have to concentrate every moment I'm behind the wheel or it will be headed in a direction I don't want to go.

The tires wear wonderfully, its not an alignment issue, it just has no positive caster.
