The most worn part is where the pignon gear (at the end of the steering wheel) is in contact with the rack and since that part is out of the center (on the left side in a 'normal' right side traffic car) the right side is as new. So if you turn the rack around there is still a lot of life left. But again, I am not sure if a 900 and a 96 are the same. -- MH ('78 95 '79 96)
