Sway bar links rattle, clunk, squeak

[G_Raw]

Anyone else battle these noises with him joint sway links? I've checked my torque on them. Greased bushings. Dry lube Heim joints even. And still rattle, clunk, squeak with slightest bit of motion. It's to the point where I can hold my rear link and wiggle by hand. Both from and rear make tons of noise just rolling down driveway. I'm used to heims making noise while flexing them on trails but this seems excessive...

Can't say I have a problem with squeaks. I did have a problems with the clunks and clangs when the rubber bushings split-ted and fell off.
New rubber bushings on the old oem 2nd gen links...and it's quiet again.

Tri flow ptfe lube resolved the squeaks in my sway bar end link heim joints. I'll lube them every other oil change.

Bushings are 4 months old...I used blaster dry lube with Teflon. Thought I still had tri flow but I was wrong...

Mine are loud as hell. I tried the ones from @Mstud and then tried a greasable version of the same. Problem exists in both cases. They're beefy but the squeaking is crazy making.

Make sure your jam nuts are tight. Tri flow lubes. This solved my issue.

My heim sway links were clunky and loud, but I found out the problem was the bottom nut (that attaches to the swaybar) was getting ever-so loose, that it would "pop" on any amount of flex.

Tightened the crap out of it-- came loose again.

Blue loctite and a lot of torque has fixed all noises for me, about 1.5monts noise-free here.

I have not had any squeaking, though. I soak the heims in PTFE dry lube

Are you using the factory brackets to hold the Swaybar to the 4Runner? I had the Energy Suspension brackets on mine for a while and got a lot of undesirable notices.
I ended up keeping the ES Greaseable Bushings and got a pair of Dorman Brackets - that combo has cut down the noises a lot.

Understood. (I am as well)
What brackets are in the middle of the Swaybar?

Oh. I misunderstood. Mine are OEM, OEM bushings. My situation has been solved however. So no issues for me at this point.
