RS is spot on there. The rack must be mounted so that the pivot points are reasonably closely aligned horizontally and vertically with the inner pivots of the lower arms/wishbones.
Of equal importance, the tie-rods (rod-ends) need to be parallel - or close to it - to ensure zero (or minimal) bump steer.
