I bought a pair of "bad" axles off eBay, then took them apart to scavenge the outer stub axles from them. $400 and I've got OEM parts for when/if I decide to do a rwd conversion on my car. So you can either do that to your current axles, or try and do what I did.
Contact Bilstein about the parts you need for the PSS9's, I've found them very good to deal with in the past.
There was a bit of, let's call it 'drama' at the dealership this week, and the nett result was they will not pull the AWD system off the car - this is fine, my guys at Ford will, so I can try this out. I will be installing the axles Paul found, and when I go to try this out, it looks like I can just chop the spindles off of them after.
Question on this - can the spindles be removed without affecting the alignment?
Drove my car up from La Quinta in So Cal to Penn Valley here in Nor Cal and the summer home. 570 miles, got 22.5 MPG on the trip and only went over a 100 a couple of times.
Installed new Speedtech 2.5" quiet exhaust. Drone is much more agreeable. Lost some power compared to the old X-pipe. Interested to be able to hear the engine now inside the car, and not just exhaust note. Not sure if I love it... aside from a LOT less drone....

What is it about it that you are unsure about? Don't like the tone?
Drove in the pouring rain on my way back home, and ran the car to empty, no more range indicated and was able to add 13.6 gallons of 16.6 max specified capacity. Car showed 8 miles of range left and then went to all dashes.
