On the left that was frozen. So my thinking in it kept pushing up on the sway bar. Acted like the link was extra long since it wasn't moving at that joint. Its so sloppy once I got it to move. 2 years old and it's junk

I think you may have just solved the mysterious clunk in the front end of your truck. Grease those little bastiges (every 1-2 months) often especially during the winter to push all the dirt and salt out of them.

Here's the kicker... no grease fitting there installed. The new one does but I have to do it tomorrow morning before the alignment at Ford. Threw up from not eating enough today. Been resting the past few hours. Came out of no where and I got dizzy and weak. Much better now
