I'm thinking about changing over my VPSS (Nolathane adjustable) front end gear out of the SS and into the wagon fix the sloppy strut tops, z bar bushes etc., but b4 I go ahead, if I use the old VN gear(re-bushed, of course) in the VP, will it alter track/geometry etc.or are all the components exactly the same???

vz wagon
The only difference is spring rate I think but yes the front ends might be out as you will be lucky if ya put them both back in the same spot.

Yeah, the springs are FE2 in the SS and the wagon, of course has the standard 4WD height springs in the front, but are, say the lower control arms a different length or is it just the front rim offset that alters the track from VN to VP? I'm using the FE2 from the SS in the wagon, as I'm going Kings supers in the front of the SS anyway...

only difference you may be refering to is that Vn's ran 14"s and VP'd ran 15"s... but even that isnt 100%.... but yeah... no difference at all in the slightest realy....
