Hi Jamie.
On the LC/LJ Toranas it's not the steering rack causing the incorrect steering angles, it's the suspension design itself.
Part of the problem is that the 'Ackerman'`angle wasn't set-up properly when the wheelbase was lengthened from

Hi Jamie.
Rack & pinion steering is no lighter than a box, it's all a matter of what ratio the gearing & linkage is.
If you go rack & pinion, you have to go power steer anyway, so just fit a power box.

Hi Dr Terry
Would a power steering box be suitable for an EK with HR front end?
