Just to clarify:

I first came across a similar problem when i wanted to fit GTA hubs/brakes to my TS. The inner tie rod was too short to connect to the outer tire rod, or more precise, it only connected with a new mm of threading, and was definitely not road safe.

On the V6 it is not a problem, but with safe threading and lowerd suspension you do get some bump steer on full lock, it also wears out the inner tie rods very quickly, so you are definitely doing the right thing in fitting the GTA rack. (i wanted to do the same as you recall) I dont know it the V6 inner track rod is short enough to cause you problems, but i should think not..
