Sway Bar Bushings

I've been hearing a clunk from the front end when turning, especially a turn that causes the car to lean to the outside of the turn. I isolated it to the sway bar, either the links, the bushings, or the bar itself.

I inspected everything and found that neither the links or the bushings looked bad, so I replaced the links (easier to get to), but no improvement.

Then I replaced the bushings, and found that the clunk had been cured. However, the bushings that I used (blue, DriveWorks DW-K200045) now squeak on just about every bump that I hit. I've read that this is because many of the aftermarket bushings are urethane rubber rather than vulcanized rubber. Buy beware...
