"One other item you might want to try is to use poly in the end-link bushings. These are the rods that the ends of the front sway bar are inserted into. Pep Boys sells them in packages of 8 for $15 (USD). The Pep Boy stock UPC# is (6 36169 01909 8). They are called Prothane Motion Control (19-406). They are actually for a '64 Mustang, but they fit perfectly. Someone did mention that using the poly end-link bushings on the top and bottom brings back some understeer, but then someone else said it did not for him. So, after trying out the poly in the top and bottom, if understeer returns, replace the top one with oem rubber (leaving the poly in the bottom one) and you'll still get the better performance without the understeer. Replacing these are pretty simple."

Hope this helps. There's no reason why Pep Boys cannot order these for you if you now have the #. If not, never step foot in their doors again (actually, I never do since I find their prices to be higher than other generic auto parts stores).
