Fox, I just pulled the front wheels off My Reatta and found My right side was kissing the plastic just like Yours but Mine was easier, it was only the tab on the bottom of the plastic was in front of the radius rod instead of behind it. Putting in behing moved it about 1/2 inch in. Yours looks to be in the right place by Your pictures. Anyway the racks have sleeves on each end that serve as shock absorbers when You pull the steering too far either way.It is behind the large snap ring where the inner tie rod goes. I am just wondering if They used a generic rack that might have different ones in it or possibly a rebuilder put a thinner sleeve on Your right side. That is the only thing I see that stops the wheels from going too far either way. With it leaking already it will be a warranty deal anyway so maybe they will sove Yor problem anyway by replacing the rack.
