Just reading UK S2000's mail, this is the second S2000 I know of with a failed one of these...could be worth while checking between services for some peeps?

Have you noticed a tad more understeer??? / oversteer?

I never noticed any difference with mine, it was only pointed out when I took the car in for an MOT. I do mostly motorway miles anyway so 95% of the time I'd never see a bend!

Definitely worth getting checked each service IMO as it only takes a few moments to do a visual check.

I'll ask the stupid question....What is one of those and where would I find one?

Turtle

Visual check isn't enough. You can get clonking from them when they appear tight visually, but aren't fully tight. You might want to check if they actually replaced the link Mike - fronts are

What is an Anti-roll bar link?

What was the other cars mileage Paul - is it high mileage related?

Turtle

In order to managed side to side weight transfer, the ends of the anti roll bar need to be connected to the wishbones. However, a simple joint couldn't handle the change in geometry over suspension travel - it'd bind. So the anti roll bar links are 2 ball joints, connected with a short section (about 2 1/5" long, but different lengths front and back). If you look on the bottom wishbone on the S, you'll see the link going up to the wishbones. Not sure if you'll see them with the wheels on unless the car is jacked up though.
