I replaced the original links that came with the swaybar with these new endkinks while a OT's house for the Autocross this past weekend.
The noise is now totally and permanently GONE. I heard it all the way up to his house a different volumes and frequency, depending on road conditions. Following the same route home, it was totally silent all the way and I haven't been able to make the noise reappear.
When I removed one of the heim links from the upper part of the swaybar on the passenger side, the center ball insert was very loose inside the housing and spun quite freely. I could shake it lightly and it rattled like a tambourine.
The new inserts are much tighter without any metal-to-metal contact
