Okay, I've got a 99 2WD 4Dr. I've just finished installing 4 new Bilstein shocks (LOVE THEM) and I'm now preparing to upgrade my rear sway bar, and all of my bushings.

I'm trying to figure out exactly what I need to order.

So far, I know I need the sway bar from EE.

http://www.explorerexpress.com/swaybars-9801-explorer-xspec-sway-rear-p-357.html

That takes care of the rear sway bar, and the bushings which mount it to the frame.

I still need end links and/or bushings for both front and rear bars, and frame bushings.

The EE site is NOT clear (at least to me) on what you need to order to get all of these parts.

It looks like if I order the following two items along with the bar, I should have everything I need. Right?

And also, I assume that these are all Energy Suspension bushings? That isn't explicitly stated either.

I suppose my alternative is to order from Summit, but it looks like I'd end up with more than I need that way.

Any guidance from someone who's done this before would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to place my order(s) in the next couple days.

Thanks!

The rear bar will work with your stock endlinks

Yes, I realize that.

I guess I should have been more explicit. I want to upgrade all of my bushings as well.

So, I'll be installing the rear bar, and new bushings for the end links, as well as replacing all of the bushings on my front bar. Just trying to make sure I get all the parts I need.

Thanks!
 






Yes, the link you posted has everything needed for all of the rear swaybar/endlinks. I don't know if they are Energy as I didn't buy mine from EE but the set is identical, hardware and all, to the Energy Susp set I got from summit, except mine was red which makes it cooler :D

EDIT: I just realized I was 7 years late with this post
 






I'm getting ready to put the Saleen Explorer XP8 Racecraft Rear Swaybar on mine. Bar is being re-powder coated as we speak. What are good replacement bushings? What type are the originals?
