Default Cusco rear sway with stock end links?

I have a bunch of clunking and squeeking sounds coming from the rear of my car when I go over bumps. The clunking almost sounds like a metal panel (like on an oil drum) popping in and out.

The only modification I have to the suspension is a Cusco swaybar with Kartboy end links. I did a search and have come to the conclusion that it's the end links causing all the commotion.

I am thinking about swapping the stockers back on to see if that helps quite it up. Problem is, I don't know it they are up to handling the extra load. Does anybody have this setup and/or heard/experienced of any failures as a result? I'm worried a link might fail in a turn, upsetting the balance of the car, and causing an unsafe condition.

TIA,

Ross

did your sway bar come with polyurethane grease for the bushings?

poly bushings will squeak alot if they are not properly lubed.

I have that setup. No problems unless I go over a large bump then it squeaks a little bit.
