Well I did just replace the sway bar links too yesterday. . It was quiet as a mouse. but started a very faint noise over harsh bumps.
The bushings are fine & were very obviously bad.. .

Blue - Wasn't Oldblue an LS, which would have had a smaller sway bar. I think 24mm. I measured mine with a dial caliper at the mount points & read like 1.06"

2007 LS , it had 25mm sway bar
2006 some had 23mm bar
the SS had the 23 mm bar
2007 thru 2011 had 25 mm bar
always good idea to measure your swaybar
