Default How to stop sway bar from rattling on bumps?

Everytime I hit a pothole or bumps...it rattles. I just bought this truck tonight. This definitely doesn't seem right...what the hell is going on here?

Do I need new sway bar end links? Shorter bolts?

x2 on video being private. Do you know 100% it is the sway bar end links? Maybe a nut isn't tight enough and a washer is rattling or something.

MOOG makes some pretty good products and the sway bar links are inexpensive.

Check brake caliper bolts, loosened up on my truck, one at a time pulled out and put red threadlock on each. No more rattle. Just something to look at
