Steering rack

[Beau Abbott]

Hey guys just wondering if a 91 series 2 vn steering rack would go into a 91 vp commo?

As my whole steering in my vp is cactus

vp supposedly first model to get slotted shaft on p/steer rack & column where intermediate goes.

If vn rack is splined it won't work,if slotted go for it.

 

[Trevor loves holden.]

Vn - vq wont fit vp.

I think both responses above are correct, unfortunately for the OP. I've got a workable VN (S1) rack sitting in the shed having pulled it out of a wreck some years ago only to find it wouldn't connect to the intermediate shaft on my (S2) VP. Worth checking the connection though as gtrboyy said.
A thought: can you swap over the intermediate as well and make it work? It was years ago I was looking at mine and I ended up with a reco unit from Repco which is still hanging in there. NSW rego check due in a few weeks though so fingers crossed.

Some vp's still have the vl/vn round spline and others have the vr/vs c slot spline.
From memory those vehicles where the series one. I was lucky to find one when I did a v8 kframe conversion into the early car. I found a cheap vl intermeddiate shaft that fitted the original column spline as the vp one was too short but I couldn't find the matching vl power steering rack steering.

If you have the vp series one round spline steering rack, YES the vn round spline is the same steering rack.

If you have the later vp series 2 car then NO the vn 1 wont fit as your rack has the square c slot shaft.

They used 2 different rack splines in the vp model.

correct the change happened on the VP series 2, the VP series 1 had passed down the same as the VN model
