We should come up with a "How do you know if you have 4WS" sticky, have pictures and other oddities that are with the 4WS model; like the power steering pump, rear steering rack, gas tank, lower cross member support, RSTB, wheels, steering wheel, etc.

It should really be painfully obvious if you have 4ws or not, if you know anything about anything about your car. (Or cars in general)




I dont think there is any difference between the power steering pumps in 4ws and non-4ws model.

90-92, or was it 91-92 GT's have the RSTB, not the 88-89 GT's, only 4WS of those years had the RSTB stock.

Not in 88 or 89, unless you had 4WS.

Um, what? Are you thinking of an ABS reservoir, or the clutch master?

I don't know why we would need a sticky for this. Maybe right under the sticky for how to check your blinker fluid

I would have thought the biggest giveaway to the average layman was the fact that the car felt different when turning, and that there's a 4WS light in the dash that lights up when you start the car. Not to mention the rack in plain view from behind
