Were there any major differences? Anything at all like swaybar size, bushing size, bearings, anything? Any replies welcome.

The tierods (and thus, the spindle as well) had different sized holes about midway thru 1993. Went from 16mm to 18mm I beleive.

Otherwise, I think everything is the same.

Many of the '91-early '93 came with the smaller from brake from the under 1.6L 323 H/B.

After the '95 model year all the GS came with a 22mm rear anti roll bars from the MX-3s sold in other markets.

I cant remember which but there was a defective ball joint in the 92 models i think, something about a dirt collecting, but no recall. Just replacement ball joints were available with a fixed problem.

Ohh getting ball joints took me 8 trips to local stores to get the right ones. Apparently they are odd...

Maybe I was thinking of Ball joints.

Hell i dont know... its those things that connect to the spindle and help steer the car.

not trying to pick at you but tie rods and ball joints are totally different. are you guys talking about different things??

does the drivers side or passengers side ball joint go bad?

if abs became standard in later model cars id say the abs hubs may have sensors or wires.
