Hi guys, quick question.

I've been hearing a sort of "tok" noise from the front left of my car for a long time and now i'm hearing some weird clunk in the rear too. I checked all my sway bar (ARB) end links and i can twist all four of them. Are they supposed to twist? I've read they aren't supposed to move at all.

The rear end links are actually letting the way bar move left to right by maybe 1/4" inch. There's a gap between the sway bar bushing and the part of the bar that looks like it's supposed to sit against the bushing. That gap (in the picture) can move from the left side to the right, since the sway bar is able to move left to right.

This isn't supposed to happen is it? I was thinking of just replacing the rear end links and rear sway bushings. Not sure if the fronts need replacing since I'm not sure if they're supposed to twist or not.

Any help guys?

bump.. i replaced the sway bar bushings with polyurethane ones yesterday and thought that fixed the issue... but the bar is still moving left to right.

is that ring sorta thing on the bar supposed to stop the bar from moving side to side? or are the end links not supposed to let the bar move side to side? i'm not sure if i should replace the end links now or if i need a new sway bar.

any help would be appreciated
