Any engineers out there ?

Got a steering question for you .
When standing in front of a vehicle the steering box sector shaft is all ways vertical . It may tilt back but when viewed from the front it is vertical . The pitman arm may be bent where the tie rod fits in . This bend helps the tie rod line up with the passenger steering arm .
What would be wrong with tilting the box 10 degrees ? Basically on my application tilting the box would help the drag link clear the engine . This is in a cross steer application.
