Michael, my 92 came with one. I don't know if it was an opption at the
time though. I just took mine off last week, someone on the page said
it helps rear trackion on take off. it does get kind squerly above
100mp though but I don't drive that fast anyway. Just another thing I
changed my oil yesterday and decided to change my fuel filter too(no
problem just thought it was time) it was filthy. I poured out so much
crap out of it. any way you have a 93 so if you haven't changed it do
it.

Dan
