Front Sway bar links

When I apply the brakes as i come to a complete stop, shift from Drive to Reverse i hear and feel thump in the front. I replaced both lower tensions arms bushings and also replace both lower wishbone still hear small thump.

I jacked up the front end and found out both of my front sway bar bushing were busted.. replaced both with lemforder, now the thump are gone.

Tools need it 18mm socket, ratchet and T40 torx

To see these sway bar link bushings good or not you need to remove the front tires, with the tires on you cant see it not unless the X5 up on the jack or hoist to see from underneath it..

Last pic before i put the tires back in,.. installed the new sway bar links with new bushing in it.
