Can someone tell me the measurement from mount point to mount point on a shortened vb/vk commodore. I bought a front end and I think it has not been shortened.
thanks fred
they are very short mines in the back of the shed but at a guess 350mm ish centres
the centre tube between the 2 alloy housings is only around 60mm
your nuckles on the rack should pivot where the lower control arm pivots so you dont get bump steer.
Have seen a few shonky ones where they just shorten the rack end really short and they will steer horrible.
can take a photo if you would like.

Mine is 360mm between mount points and 120mm between alloy housings. And yes to photos
regards fred
they can vary whoever modified it
OK mine 290 centres and 50 in the guts.

I don't know who modifeied mine if at all, the pivot point of the rask is about 50mm outside the pivot point of lower control arms. This tells me I will have all sort of steering problems.

post a pic or send me one to post might not even be commodore or modified.
you would know if its a commodore they are long as hell.
Could be a camira as they are pretty popular but then again it could be anything //
My old man set up a torana one on the rear of a hr crosmember in his T tudor it was in their for ages and i jumped in it one day and turned left and the wheels went right very important lesson learnt.
