Hello. I was driving home tonight and was hearing what I would describe as a popping sound. I arrived home and slid under the truck to find that the passenger side (side the sound was coming from) end link has started coming apart and was rolling around in there. The driver's side looks fine, but I'm going to go ahead and replace both at the same time as well as the sway bar bushings. Is there any brand that seems to be better or more preferred? Of course there are the Motorcraft OEM replacements. I also saw the Energy Suspension option. Just wanted to know if any brands were more preferable over the others.

Thank you.

Moog Problem Solvers are very stout aftermarket replacements available at most auto parts stores locally. They're a good bet to fix your complaint.

Being a Ford Parts guy I can tell you...you'll spend twice as much for less quality/stoutness if you went Motorcraft. Just go Moog.

The motorcraft units are fairly cheaply made, at least on my truck. One large bolt that slides through a plastic sleeve.

The MOOG units should be all steel. I bought a set for my 01, decent units.
