Nick is right. I had a 1994 SE (same rack as used on the 1995 model) and a 2000 9-3 SE. The 94-95 Models used a larger diameter aluminum rack and different hold down grommets, it used conventional steering fluid. The 9-3 unit should not be used as it used mineral oil that is not compatible with the older type fluid that is in your hoses and pump. I dont know if it is possible to completely purge and flush the existing system as the hoses will take on some of the fluid and will contaminate the system. I liked the feel of the 94-95 rack better and it is more secure as it uses less rubber in the mounts. The newer units are way too squishy and need a rack brace kit to keep the car from wandering all over the road. Find a 94-95 rack.
