Default Stupid question about front end

I noticed this problem last night at work. I believe its the sway bar end links, but I'm not 100% sure. The driver's side has a few pin holes in it and was completely clean and dry. Its also starting to twist some. Can someone verify that this is the sway bar end links and does anyone know if there are upgrades over factor for this and if they're worth it?
Thanks

Its government gun lube. After some more research I found out this my happen with the KORE suspension because it allows more suspension travel. I think I'm going to get the KORE sway bay upgrade for it so it doesn't happen again. Thanks for verifying.
