    So my main question as the title says is will an 04+ rack fit in a 98. If not then do all 97-03 racks interchange. Thanks

    id check the part #'s. look the rack up for both years, see if they match.

    some cars have magna steer, others dont, so you'll want to look for a wire and plug leading from the area where the column bolts to the rack.

    if you have a wire, you have magna steer, no wires, its a plain rack.

    Variable power assist. More at slower speeds and less at higher speeds. There's a good post describing it somewhere on these forums.

    Well its a known that the Gxp rack fits in the 97-03 so I can't imagine it being a issue
