Yup.
thought so. Isn't the rear sway-bar on the 95 larger than the one on the 98's? SE, not SVT.
I think my 98 would like an older sister, so I've started poking around looking for 96 V6 MTXs....hard to find.

Well I'm almost positive my friends 98.5 SVT (Built May 98) has 4 bolt.
My car, which is a 98 (Built April 97) has the 4 bolt for sure.
Someone else can maybe confirm when Ford made the switch. As pricey as the 4 bolt LCA's are, everything I read on here says the 4 bolt is a superior design to the 2 bolt.

did it have TC? if it did the throttle cable runs around just about the whole outside of the endin compartment as the TC motor was behind the passanger head light, also if you want to keep a 95 moving you need to keep your foot on the gas ... it might have also been an issue with the throttle cable as there was a recall on it for sticking gas pedals

the light package included the door handle lights and the key lock lights, also I believe it included the glove box light too, it also included the window switches

I have all that, too, except for the keyhole lights. I think this has been discussed on here, before, and we figured out the only thing decontented in 96 was the keyhole light!

No, no TC for me, Just the gas is REALLY heavy, heavier than ANY car ive ever driven, its crazy.

Yea im pretty sure the rear sway bar was equal or bigger than the SVT rear one (20mm or so)
