With out pictures of what you have, it just a shot in the dark.
Is it front steer? Rear steer? Long tie rods? Short tie rods? A-arm equal or unequal?
Usually you temporarily mount the rack and cycle the suspension to see where you are at and then start moving the rack either up or down and forward and backwards until you have the least amount of bump steering you can have.
Zero is great, but sometimes you cannot get all the bump steer out.
