I've just finished three very laborious days performing this operation.
An uncommon way of selebrating the Labor day, I guess. I've done this to my 1995 NG900. I got an upgrade kit from Taliaferro. It had all the arms and a swaybar. The upgrade kit is from 9-3, but it fits these old NG900 just fine. I do not feel any difference in handling, but hopefully this will stop the stream of repairs to the rubber bushings which just keep breaking.
As far as the steering system. I know that the horizontal bar, which is one of the main components thereof, is different between 94-95 and 96 models. I know this because I was buying a steering rack brace, and there are two kinds of it for NG900: one thick, one thin. The switch occured somewhere in 1996. If you go to the junk yard, I'd measure all your current pieces first.
Prepare yourself well, if you decide to do it yourself. Lots of highly exotic tools are required. This is really a serious endevour. Someone else to help would be terrific.
Are you an engineering student? If so, then I insist that you do it DIY.
If you are a mechanical engieering student, you should not allowed to graduate, until you've done a couple. Maybe this will stop them designing things in the crazy ways that are impossible to repair. (But my hunch is that they are trained to do exactly that -- after all, they want you to buy a new car -- not to keep reparing the old ones)
