The UPS guy was nice enough to drop off a little package for me this afternoon so I got to do a little modification work.
I decided that since I have my Explorer Express rear swaybar installed I should try to improve the adhesion at the front end as well. About the only option for 98+ X's is to install polyurethane swaybar bushings and shorter poly end links. I used Energy Suspension greasable swaybar bushings and a set of their end links.
Installation is just a simple remove/replace affair and only takes about 45 minutes. The pieces appear to be of good quality and will only set you back about $25-$27 dollars.
I was skeptical, but I actually could feel a noticable improvement. The front end feels more "planted" and it seems to have a bit less body roll. I will have to do more "seat of the pants" testing, but I noticed a difference right away. All and all I think it is a worthy mod especially considering the price and ease of install!
1998 and up with 34mm front swaybar will utilize the following part numbers:
9.5167 (greasable swaybar bushings)
9.8121 (end links)
add an R or G to the end of each number to specify red or black color.
Happy modin'
