Ok, i have a 1992 explorer with front say bar, previous owner said 1 link broke so they took the other one out and tied up the say bar to prevent rattling... Now the stock sway bar end link at the parts store is a dogbone with a bushing on each end, my brackets that are on the front axle will accept them but the sway bar has a hole like a standard gm sway bar that has the end links with the threaded part and a bushing that installs on the top and bottom with a washer/bushing/sway bar/bushing/washer/nut..... I dont know what to do... im tired of body rolling around corners like crazy... just bought new shocks for the truck and ould like to fix this as well... may have to get another sway bar to fix this.... anybody else had this problem?

Unsure by your end link description.
Post pics of your old links if possible.

Are these similar to what the parts store sold you?

Unbelievable someone would "tie up" a sway bar to avoid buying a $15 part, especially one that makes so much of a difference in the handling of the vehicle.

Always replace suspension components in pairs. Look at the link on the other side that is still there to see how its put together, and buy a new pair.
