I'm making a similar clunking noise too but I'm curious what a bad end link would be characterized by?

Should I be able to twist the end link back and forth?

Thanks for help all.

***EDIT***

Video <=== Is this a good indicator of a bad end link?? Anyone know how I can tell under load?

You should be able to twist the end-link but you should not be able to move it up and down freely.

#1 just make sure the swaybar bushings are well lubricated. You may have to remove the swaybar bracket to do this if there isn't a grease nipple.
