I much prefer the feel of the steering in my '91 and '94.
from what i read i will have to change the gearbox aswell due to some valve inside not sure if its true or not so im trying to match up part #'s between the 2 just out of curiosity.

If i need to swap it all then its a done deal i will no prob!!

I miss the way my 90 drove, yes it was dropped 4/6 but it felt so sporty and cornered like it was on rails.....

Im actually looking to drop this 2/4 but want to fix the chitty steering first, its easier to get under while its still lifted
