Been here for a while but this is my first actual post, so hope this helps...
I work at Autozone and didn't want the plastic sway links to replace the factory metal ones that NEEDED replacing. So I started searching through fitments and boxes and found 2003 Ford Escape is same length and orientation of the ball joints. Sure enough they fit good and have been riding awesome without clunks since. Simple thing I know but they are greasable and like $15 each.
V18348 is the one I used. And this is for the front... I'll have to get you a pic tomorrow. Should've thought about that since I just put on brakes and rotors.
I replaced mine yesterday, along with the lower control arms. Bought both sets from RockAuto for about $97. The sway bar links are Moog brand, manufactured in Germany. Lower control arms are Dorman brand, made in China. I'm happy with quality of both.
Finally getting a picture up here and forgot to say that it's the front links... AutoZone Duralast brand is Moog made and their Valucraft(still lifetime warranty) are qualis I believe. These are theValucraft which was I little thicker metal bar.
