Default C4 suspenison

This is my first post to this forum, i have often come to this site for advice and it is now to the point where i need a little more help, I had a front tire go during some "spirited" driving, and i may have gone a little off the road. My tires just came in yesterday, after i had them mounted and balanced i installed them on my car. while driving i noticed that there seems to be more "sway" from left to right and a popping sound I beleive to be to be coming from the rear driverside wheel, i did a visual inspection of tie rods and the anti sway bar in the front, every thing appeared to be fine, what else could it be?

Have a close look at the rear sway bar end link bushings.
They were the cause of my rear noise.

Yup, this was the cause of a knocking noise on the driver side rear of my '96 also.
