Play in swaybar normal? Vid included

2008 f250 2wd. I was hearing a clattering noise from my front end and low speeds and realized i can grab the sway bar and move it left to right somewhat easily. Is this normal or should i get new bushings?

New bushings and links may be in order for you. Sway bar should be stiff.

I did the end links and it really stiffened it up. I cant seem to find the bushings though. My bar is 1 5/16" but the stores keep giving me 1 1/8" bushings

Its stiffer with new hardware but i can still move it. and i still have a horrible metallic clattering noise over bumps. I think the replacement bushings were alot softer than the originals. Im gonna check out my local speed shop for some universal 1 5/16 swaybar bushings. This noise is driving me up the fkn wall

Rockauto.com should have bushings. Otherwise use the part number from rockauto and check the local auto part store. I did this online with Orielly's and found the right ones.
