Don't worry Ross, I don't plan on using the stock steering box. I was just evaluating how bad the bump steer would be but it is a no go. The ideal situation I was looking for was one which didn't need column mods. I don't know what you mean by 'aligned', but A arms should not be parallel on a road car for the best compromise.
I have found a steering rack of the perfect length now which will eliminate bump steer with proper location.
Starting with a blank sheet of paper and no front end would be the easy option, I want to develop a bolt-on module...
I was concentrating on getting the wishbone geometry correct first with the correct camber curve on CAD with a link model. For the steering it is easier to quickly mock it up than measure all the VW dimensions to the required accuracy and then model them.
