OK lets go, sway bar link issues and bushing (again)

[00_slow_5spd_ls]

OK everyone first of all, I am aware of all the threads going on. Ill make this short and sweet. While replacing my passenger side wheel bearing, I noticed that my sway bar end links looked a little iffy. They had alot of play in them and wear showing signs of major wear, car was clunking around. I replaced both, the clunking sound went away about 70%, however there is still a clunk when i go over bumps. My guess is that is the sway bar bushing, just because of the fact that it makes the same noise. I know the part number for the Energy Suspension ones. Do you gys think that the issue is the sway bar bushings, if so I am going to order the ones the guy with the silver LSE got.

Absolutely! I thought the sway bar bushings would never be able to make that much noise but it sure did. As soon as they were replaced all the noise went away. The old rubber bushings wear out and let the swaybar hit the fron control arms to make that clunk noise. For $20 you can go wrong replacing them.
