Finally found the little gremlin....bushings and sway bar links

So i found my little gremlin making poping noises. My front sway bar bushings are shot and ripped in half. Also my rear sway bar links and basically done as well and they are stripped out anyway. So i need to replace my front sway bar bushings and im gonna do all 4 sway bar links, should i go with wab fab rears and front discos? They are expensive tho, but are they worth it? Is there a way to make my own end links? Im handy and have access to a shop. What front sway bar bushings should i get? What other bushings should i replace while im already in that far? Should i do lower ball joints as well, did the uppers recently? Anyway please give me some input. Steering bushings have already been replaced. Most everything else is original as far as i know. Let me know what you think.

I have been real happy with the Wabfab ones. I got the complete front and back set and using the Disco off-road does help alot with the way the front moves. I know a lot of people just say run with out them but I drive on the street to much on twisty roads so prefer to have them in place.

Just ordered the front set from Wheelers. Feels like I am trying to turn using a jello mold. Might be my steering rack bushings as well. Good price and it includes tax & shipping! Last time I was under the T4R I noticed mine were shot. I will let you know how they work out.

Subscribed. I have a front end pop that's pretty sporadic but I know it's not my end links (they're new). Just want to see if the sway bar bushings solve your problem. Mine are old but look entirely intact.
