What are the symptoms of bad stabilizer links?

 Increased body roll, creaking clunking, or groaning noises, a tighter-than-usual turning radius, and abnormal tire wear are all symptoms of a bad sway bar. What causes a sway bar to become bad? Wear from bad links or bushings is a common cause.

Stabilizer bar links should fit snugly, without any play or movement except between rubber bushings, or the controlled movement of the ball socket joint. When the links are worn, the stabilizer bar will begin to make rattling and clunking sounds, especially when you drive around corners or over bumps.
