Noise coming from Endlinks

Disconnect the swaybar links at the swaybar. Move them around to feel for any play. If you feel some slop in them. Time for a replacement. The other thing is

The other thing is that your swaybar is making the noise in the bushings. Common problem. The fix is to wrap the bushing areas on the swaybar with plumper's teflon thread tape, just one wrap will do it. Then smear the area with grease. Then reinstall.
Spartan 1771 and Ghostvette like this.

If the end links are a month old. I go with the swaybar making noise. If the shop tells you that they greased the swaybar. It will still make noises. Get them to wrap the teflon thread tape around the swaybar where the bushings sit.
axmea?, Optimiser and redondoaveb like this.

If you are adding grease to your sway bar make sure if is synthetic grease and not regular grease. I too had a noise coming from my front sway bar and since grease would not work I applied the teflon threaded tape and it can work and take the unwanted noise away if done right.
