Fitment on a used steering box varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
No — the Vauxhall Arena is a front-wheel-drive van and uses rack-and-pinion steering, not a steering box. A steering box is a recirculating-ball or worm-and-roller unit typically found on older rear-wheel-drive or heavy commercial vehicles; it was never fitted to any variant of the Arena. If you need the steering rack assembly for your Arena, that is the correct part to search for.
The part you need is a steering rack (also called a steering rack and pinion), not a steering box. Search for 'Vauxhall Arena steering rack' when contacting breakers, and have your registration to hand so they can confirm the correct unit for your exact van. Some variants may also have power steering, so let the breaker know whether your Arena has power-assisted or manual steering.
No — because the Arena uses rack-and-pinion steering throughout its range, there is no steering box to share with any other model. The Arena was built on the same platform as the Renault Trafic and Nissan Primastar of the same era, and all of these vans used a steering rack rather than a steering box. If you are working on a different, older Vauxhall van that does have a steering box, that would be an entirely separate search.
It is likely a miscommunication — the correct term for the Arena's steering component is a steering rack, not a steering box. Double-check with the breaker that they are quoting you a rack-and-pinion assembly rather than a steering box, as the two are completely different parts. Fitting the wrong type of unit is not possible, so clarifying the terminology before purchasing will save time and money.
