Why does the 996L not fit with my 98/9947 device?

The 994/996 lever trims have bulkier parts than the obsolete 992 lever trim.  When the 994/996 lever trims were introduced, the bottom rod for the 98/9947 was modified with a 3/8" offset to allow for the bulkier trim parts.  Older 98/9947 straight top rods will not fit with the 994/996 trim.  Bottom rod with offset, #050575, is needed for today's lever trims.
