Why does Häns Racecraft not recommend off-set steering rack bushings?

Hans Racecraft - FAQ | Home for best performance subframe co...
Bump steer is a change in toe when a wheel traverses irregularities on the road surface. In order to minimize bump steer--a condition that can be caused by using shorter springs to lower a vehicle--some manufacturers offer offset steering rack bushings. These offset steering-rack bushings can rotate inside the housing and compound the problem of bump steer. Therefore, HR recommends center-drill bushings only for all applications.

The pressure on the steering is enormous - and to attempt to run without power steering would be very hard on the driver. When the cars are sitting still it is easier to turn the actual wheels on the ground than it is to turn the steering wheel. See similar questions...
