Default 1997 Front Stabilizer bar link bushing replacement

Hi guys, I'm going to replace my front stabilizer bar links and bushings on my 1997 4.6l 4x4 f150. I replaced the upper/lower ball joints some time ago but shortly after, I started having a metallic clunking noise on the front left side each time I hit little or large bumps in the road. I figure this is as good a start as any to figure out the issue.

In any case, what product do you guys like or are happy with? i was just poking around Rock auto and I saw the Moog product, I was very happy with their stuff int he past, just looking for some more input from y'all.

I put the moogs in...as with all moog products I've been happy. One thing that could be improved - I wished the bolt was 1/2" longer. I had to compress the suspension to get them in.

Yeah sticking the jack under the lower control arm to move it up and down a little as needed worked great when I did mine a few month back
