Playing with Suspension Analyzer and have a question about rack and pinion points

[abadsvt]

Hi everyone. I am playing with Suspension Analyzer for my project that I am getting started. They give me measurements for the tie rod on Rack and tie rod on spindle. I was hoping for clarity on what part of the rack and pinion are they talking about when they say tie rod on rack? Is it at the end of the tie rod where the thread ends or is it where the tie rod arms connect to the inner ball joint on the rack? Any help would be great. Thanks

The inner tie rod pivot is what they're referring to. The threaded part where it meets the outer wouldn't mean anything from a geometry standpoint.

That makes sense. Thanks! I appreciate it!
