Welcome to the Forum.
If the Ford ones need replacing, then depending on how long they have been on there, they could still be covered by their warranty.

Check the lower control arm bushings. The links attach to the arm which could be over flexing

Try urethane performance links. Autozone sells those bushings separately so you don't have to replace the entire rod.
