Default Sway Bar Bushings

Ok, so there was this thunk in the front end. I replaced the sway bar end links, and that fixed most of it. I went to NAPA and got some sway bar bushings. They were not the right ones, as I think they are for a Heritage. They were way to narrow, but they took care of all of the noise. I went to Ford, and got the right ones, and now they are back to making a clunking noise. What is a good aftermarket poly bushing that I can get to replace these junk things from Ford?

I bought the moog parts at o'reilley's. They've got a grease-able bushing at one end to keep it tight. Working well so far.

X2.... I have Moog links on mine and one crapped out on me. They have a lifetime warranty on them and my mechanic just took it to carquest and they just gave him a new one.

I have the same issue, Clunky front end, Replaced the sway bar end links with NAPA parts, they also had grease fittings. worked great for about 10 months, back to clunking. Thinking maybe it just eats them up with the level kit and larger tires. still looking for a better solution.

May not be the end links. Like I said, they were about 80% of the clunking from the front end, the rest was the sway bar bushings. Different animal.
