Was the clunking there before the hubs were replaced? What brand hubs and what axle nut torque was used?

friend said my stabilizer links were bad. how hard are these to replace and what brand should i buy. is there a writeup to this and last but not least what sort of expensive special tools will i need. Thanks everyone

Not too bad to replace, but they get rusty over the years and are sometimes hard to get off without using a hacksaw.
Check and make sure the stabilizer bar isnt cracked before you just replace the links. The bars seem to break before the links on these cars.
