1998 VT Power steering

[holycow96]

I'm not very car savvy at all so sorry if I got some stupid questions. I have a 1998 VT Berlina that I'm currently trying to get roadworthy. I need a new power steering rack, can I take one from a 2004 VY or won't it fit?

Looking at listings on ebay it appears that VTII, VX and VY are the same. Yours being a 98 model is probably a series 1, so I'm going to say the racks are different.

Quite correct. From the VT/VX Service Manual:

"With the introduction of VT Series II vehicles, a revised design steering rack is fitted. The revised design incorporates the pinion rotary valve housing as a single piece casting integral with the steering rack body casting."
