Default Worn Sway Bar Links

I am just wondering what are some of the symptoms of worn front sway bar links? I noticed on the passenger side front link was missing the 2 small upper bushings. It has been like that since I bought my truck so I don't know any different. Also if you sit in the passenger front seat there is a small clunking feeling in the foot floor board area, could be caused from the missing bushings?

Thanks guys!

If the bushings are gone, the sway bar isnt doing anything. Just replace the links, and be done with it. They really are not that expensive.

How do you replace the sway bar links? Mine are intact but I'd like to swap them to polyurethane.

Download the FSM in the FAQ/DIY section, it's explained in there with a good diagram. Very straight forward.
