Are those the problem solver ones, or is there a better line?The end links will come with new bushings. I personally like Moog that’s the ones I just purchased for one of my cars is the Moog appear to be very high quality.

The Problem Solver is the ones I got they are greaseable too supposed to be their highest line.Are those the problem solver ones, or is there a better line?
Why would one of the OP have problems with the Moog? Saw some negative reviews on Amazon as well.The Problem Solver is the ones I got they are greaseable too supposed to be their highest line.
Not sure I have always had good luck with them and they seem to be of fine quality. Moog is the only brand I’ve ever used for suspension parts most are made in Mexico now though instead of USA but still appears to be great quality.Why would one of the OP have problems with the Moog?

It's a crapshoot. At one time Moog, TRW, McQuay-Norris and others could all be considered quality pieces. The few that still exist are not what they used to be.What is a good brand for them?
I saw a bunch of newer, poor reviews on Moog, that I decided to Mevotech a try.It's a crapshoot. At one time Moog, TRW, McQuay-Norris and others could all be considered quality pieces. The few that still exist are not what they used to be.
The last time I bought Moog, I paid a premium for it, and it came with a Made in China label. Fool me once, shame on you... I've since bought some Mevotech ball joint type sway bar links for about half the price of Moog. In service for a year, they seem to be decent pieces.
The good news is your car uses the bolt thru style of sway bar end links, which would be hard for a manufacturer to screw up. Most any should perform well.
The sway bar to frame bushings show a few different sizes listed, so be sure to mic the bar to get the correct size.

In don't think you'll be disappointed.I saw a bunch of newer, poor reviews on Moog, that I decided to Mevotech a try.
Maybe I would be fine with this peticular part from Moog, but I was reading reviews elsewhere as well, other part sites, and Amazon. Those white bushings looked cheap in the picture.Not sure I have always had good luck with them and they seem to be of fine quality.

The ones I just bought had the normal black bushings never seen white ones.Maybe I would be fine with this peticular part from Moog, but I was reading reviews elsewhere as well, other part sites, and Amazon. Those white bushings looked cheap in the picture.
Oh ok those are the polyurethane bushings mine have the other type can’t remember the name right off. Normally they are filled with grease and not hollow.If you like to see the particular part and picture I would of had to buy, here is a link to the part at Rock Auto:
There are reviews saying they are hollow as well.
This could of what happened here. Moog may just threw a part together using parts from elsewhere. Those bushings may originally been designed to be filed with grease, and better utilized in another application. But since they didn't make the part with grease zerks, the bushings may not be suitable for that part. Hence, the poor reviews for it.Oh ok those are the polyurethane bushings mine have the other type can’t remember the name right off. Normally they are filled with grease and not hollow.
Yeah I guess it varies by vehicle. Neoprene bushings is what the ones I got have. In my opinion much better than the polyurethane ones. I can see why you don’t want them now.This could of what happened here. Moog may just threw a part together using parts from elsewhere.

Is it like grinding, clunking, metal hitting something or none of those and was it getting louder as you go faster?Now I got the end links fixed. When I drove it home, it is giving off another noise. Really hard to explain how it sounds. Just that noise changes with the speed of the vehicle. Hear it coming from rear. Can't believe it would be related, but I noticed it after leaving.
The original clunking sound is gone. This, I believe the end link and bushing replacement fixed that. No clunking and no metal hitting sound. It might get louder as you go faster.Is it like grinding, clunking, metal hitting something or none of those and was it getting louder as you go faster?
Maybe you could make a sound recording if it’s hard to describe that might help us determine what it is.The original clunking sound is gone. This, I believe the end link and bushing replacement fixed that. No clunking and no metal hitting sound. It might get louder as you go faster.
Sometimes I thought I am half decent figuring out computers, just got my first smart phone this year and it is just not like using a desktop/laptop, but now I am at a state I am fighting it. This afternoon, I got a recording, but yet I cannot attach the file here. Err.Maybe you could make a sound recording if it’s hard to describe that might help us determine what it is.
