Default Sway Bar End Link Clunks

Anyone experience a low snap /clunk noise when they brake or accelerate?. Could it be the end links??. Is this consistent with worn end links?. I have about 40 K miles. At first I thought it was a sliding(loose) brake pad when braking.. But I notice it when the weight transfers from rear to front upon braking. ? Any thoughts??

That could be the problem. I would get the car up in the air and tighten the heck out of those end links (and any other thing it could be) and take it for a test drive afterward to see if that was the problem.

How olds the car ??? If it has the older plastic endlinks one may have broken. Fitchner offers both aluminum and metal endlinks for a very reasonable price. :thumbs:
