Front End Clunk Noise (Solved - Just Sharing)

Hello. It's been a while since I've been on the forum. Today I'm here to share my most recent problem, that have already been solved. I started hearing a clunking, popping noise on the front drivers side. I couldn't guess what it was, so I looked under the truck, and the "Sway Bar Link" bushing was completely gone on the top; pretty evident. I ordered a set, and installed them today. Pretty easy job. Just wanted to post this, in case, someone else is experiencing the same thing.


. Thanks.

Just tighten until the rubber bushings are snug.
