Is a 96 front axle and a 01 the same length from knuckle to knuckle ?

 

Yep. It's pretty much a direct swap, I think the bolts for the control arms are different though.

 

Wonder why they changed the design of the steering and sway bar links ?

 

Seemed like the thing to do at the time......

 

Gonna use the 01 sway bar and 96 links just turned around !

 

Yea local dealer will do it but they need the car there to program it and no one seems to be able to tow it from our lot. I didnt think it would be that tough but apparently they arent well equipped lol also waiting to hear back from locksmith to come on site to do it at my place but they are still gonna be a week by the looks of it. And tired of her having my suv while the car sits haha
