The new Jaguar bushings *are* the better ones! They were redesigned and strengthened. I had these installed after chasing a noise in the front suspension ($$$$$ and nothing obvious found - the last resort was to change the sway bar bushings although they looked fine. The new oem bushings were considerably different in appearance and construction and they entirely eliminated the noise, instantly.

Rock Auto. I am not sure if you want the links, bushings or both but here is a link.
2002 JAGUAR X-TYPE 3.0L V6 Suspension Parts | RockAuto

I have an 02, but I don't think there is a difference between the years.

Try JAGBITS for the parts. There online catalog shows the bushing as one that supercedes the old part number. To be sure you can email a parts request to them and Dan will get back to you right away to answer your question as to whether they are new style. If they aren't I am sure he can get them. I have always had excellent communication and parts service from them.
They also give a discount to form members just ask about for the discount code.

I have some polyurethane bushings you can have, front and rear. I need larger ones than what came with my poly kit. If you're interested PM me your address and I will ship them out end of this week...

PM recieved and responded to but I forgot to mention once again that they are not factory rubber bushings but stiffer polyurethane. Even more beneficial than factory upgraded bushings...
