rack vs tranny

The tranny on a front engine rwd car is in the same space as the rack on a rear steer car.  Which is why I am having to change some things.  I put the subframe back in the Focus loosely so I could measure some steering geometry and took a few pictures:

Here is a good look at the knuckle:

Here is a look at the engine bay with the subframe back in:

Here it is closer.  Notice how the steering rack totally blocks the tunnel:

Here is a look at the passenger side knuckle in the car with the tie rod hooked up to it loosely.  Steering arm on the left, brake caliper mounts on the right (you can see it from the other side in the above picture.  I was talking with Seth earlier today and we conjectured that you can tell if a car is front steer or rear steer by which side the caliper is on (should always be opposite).  Go ahead, impress your your spouse or GF now.  Did you know that on almost all cars the gas fill is opposite side from the tail pipe?  I have yet to find a counter example of that either.
