Check this out. It has a grease nipple! And it looks really robust. Anyone have it on their X100?

I used one on the rear of 2002 XK8 and the fit was fine and worked great. The old one didn't look that bad until compared to the new. Stopped a lot of the noise from the rear.

I am in the process of replacing the rear sway links on my 97 xk8 and confused about how to install the one new large bushing that came with the link.....

Yeah, that is confusing. They don't tell you about cutting that bushing in half.
You are not alone.

I recall having to use a washer as a spacer to make it fit properly. But its robust and worked great when done.
