Your post just confused the shit out of me.
So problem was an aftermarket swaybar END LINK? Because I just bought some aftermarket AC DELCO end links I was about to throw on.
What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Didn't do it myself because of lack of time and knowledge so I took it into my favorite local shop and got the front brake pads and rotors replaced, new fuel filter, new plugs and wires, cleaned out my MAF, transmission service, front and rear axle serviced, and induction service. Pretty good for $900....She's all set for a while now.

CBI ditch light mounts. Ordered parts for HID retrofit including new depo headlights. You can see my broken headlight lens in the pic.

Sounds to me like the problem was with the bushing itself. The inner diameter of the bushing is greater than the diameter of the bar, so it has room to move. General bushing image below: size of A was too big.
I had this same issue on my Tahoe's sway bar a long time ago. The OE worn bushing had too much play in it, so the bar kept popping when it "swayed" enough. I bought the correct size diameter polyurethane aftermarket bushings and fixed the issue.
I think the OP's trouble is that they got either the wrong size or too "universal" of a bushing. Need to make sure you get the right bushings made for the right diameter and all will be good (whether its OE or aftermarket). :yo:

You're welcome. :yo: I think the only reason I know exactly what you were saying was going through the same thing with my Tahoe. hah. I remember crawling under it and measuring the sway bar size and then comparing to the spec sheets of the bushings I was ordering and whatnot.. And the Tahoes have two different sized sway bars during those years, so I had to get it all 100%..
Anyways..
:focus:
I did a bunch of research today for my 3rd Gen into how stock 4Runners look with 265/75/R16 tires on em without a lift. Getting new tires this year (and probably not lifting it yet).. so I keep going back and forth whether I want to stick with my standard 265/70's or go up to the 265/75's. :noidea:

Keep in mind there are also variances between different tire models...

Made a couple of those '4 dollar window screens' from the recently resurrected thread - seems like they will work well!
I was also putzing around under the truck (still learning my way around it) and noticed that a bolt was missing from what I think is the parking brake bracket on the rear axle, leaving the cable hanging. Anyone know what bolt or additional hardware I need to attach this?

Tried to polish out a scuff in the clear coat. Didn't work.
