I made my adapters a little differently, I designed a left and right specific pair one side is longer than the other. Your set set looks symmetrical. The plastic is an extension for the dust boot and is a bump stop to keep the rack gear within its proper range of motion.
I made the F body adapters and Vette adapters with about the same offset. The rack does not sit in the center of the X member. The important part about aligning the rack in the X member is the steering shaft. The adapters then mated the stock Fiero tie rods to the rack. The stock Fiero geometry is kept EXACTLY as it was from the factory.


If you make one tie rod longer than the other, you will compromise you suspension geometry settings. This would cause a permanent, unadjustable condition.
