The 98/99 models had a T style setup, like most real 4WDs do. The steering arms are connected by the linkage straight across, then the steering box is tied in the middle of that straight bar. Earlier and later versions use a Y type setup that connects the steering gearbox to the Pass. side steering arm, then another goes from that rod to the drivers side arm.

Any wear is magnified and can get ugly real quick. I converted Brownie and was pleased, as soon as I get a bit more wear in Greenie, she gets converted as well.
