I have some spares from a 96L which I'm using on my 96. I'm particularly looking at the front suspension and steering. I know the steering ratio in the 96L is different so the steering racks aren't interchangeable. Does anyone know if all other suspension and driveshaft parts are interchangeable? In particular, are the steering arms on the driveshaft carrier the same? Are all suspension and driveshaft parts interchangeable?

You can use an L steering rack on a "non-L" car no problem, also driveshafts and all suspension parts are interchangeable.

Thanks Melle, I thought they had different steering ratios; don't know where I got that from.

They do, but that doesn't mean they're not interchangeable.
