Front end creaking?



so I replaced my oem sway bar endlinks in the front with mevotech supreme ones and started to hear clunking/old bed type of noise immediately after the installation.I immediately told the shop where I got it done to reinstall and them and to regrease them and they did but the noise still continues.I took it to another shop and they told me that it was my sway bar bushings making the noise the whole time so I went out my way to replace them and it still is making the noise but not as bad as it sounded with the old bushings.Could the noise be coming from the mevotech end links? I bought them for $20 and could it be cause they are soo cheap? I’m considering replacing them with Whiteline endlinks and throwing out the mevotechs.Should I risk buying the Whitelines for $120 and hoping for the noise to be gone? Also would Whiteline endlinks fit oem sway bar? Thank you guys
Btw all my compression rods are good but I did notice my passenger side ball joint is bad but I doubt that’s the problem as the noise is coming front my front end

Those are greasable, so I don't think it's those. It's likely your LCA bushings or the bushing at the font rearward lower control arm, also known as the compression rod.

Whiteline end links are pretty noisy, I ended up going back to an OEM style end link because it was so irritating. So if you don't like clunks, adjustable end links aren't the way to go.
