Default TPM question

I have a 98 about to put new rear tires on and replace TPM's. Are the TPM's all the same or do I have to get a left and a right?

They are the same for all wheels. However, the 1997-2000 sensors are different form the 2001-2004. The two types are not interchangeable.

The only difference is between model years. As long as you get the correct ones for your model year, they are all the same and can be placed on any wheel. Just need to get a magnet and do the programming after they are installed, or if done at a tire shop, they should do the programming as part of the install.

They're just like tube socks, left or right, it doesn't matter.
