Yes, the length is in the rack ends, but that's not the problem. The problem is the pinion drive is a square shaft on VS (and also VR, and later VP racks).
You need to get a VN or early VP rack with the round splined shaft. This will then fit the VL power steer intermediate shaft, which will then connect to your VK column. The VN-early VP rack is a direct fit if you kept the lines & pump from the donor car as well.
Also, don't get the rack with the actuator (and wires) on the pinion housing - this is the variable effort rack, and it needs the electronics to drive it - it's also longer in the pinion shaft, so the VL intermediate shaft won't fit. |
Cheers,
Mick
