jhk1997.
I am going to put some links to the parts book I scanned showing linkage.
I bet I can tell you what broke and I had to laugh when I lifted the seat. My machine is a 97 not a 96 like I said . I broke the steering rods the first year, both side but I just fixed them and forgot about it.I did build the rods up and my welding looks pretty funky. There was no real Mustang dealer here then so I didn't get a recall notice.
But I'd like to know so I can contact the dealer. the only part that seems to be that expensive would be the centering assembly.
Ihaven't been very successful inserting links that work so here ya go.
