carefully examine the links where they pass the controll arm lower lip.  i
have seen them rub under hard use and actually rub to the point of severing
the link.  also, the links can be bad even if they appear to be good!  the
rubber inside the bal lin socket end can be shot , but only give enough
under load.   next!  examine the two sway bar frame mounts.  they have a way
of tearing out of the lower frame rail in a near perfect shape of the mount
.  next look into oblinged sway bar link mount plate holes in the plates and
arms.   they can wear oddly and be well hidden by the mounting hardware.
and last?  replace the frame mount bushings!  do not examine them, replace
them.

been there.....broke that!
