Front stabilizer bar
I have a 2002 Ford excursion and the holes on my front stabilizer bar where my end links attach are worn out and so is the hole on the frame where the mount end link mounts to the frame has anyone ever had this problem before? The excursion only has 115k miles and I replaced the end links when I started to hear a little noise any help would be appreciated

Yes, ovalling out of the hole is possible. Tighten that hardened bolt even more and retighten periodically.
If it really annoys you, disconnect it; but be prepared for more sway around turns.

From the Moog website -
"The OE driver side front sway bar end links in the Ford Super Duty have been known to fail prematurely if it's been used in severe or off road settings. The cross axis joint design acts as a mini socket rotating in plastic bearings. The socket becomes worn and loose which causes a clunking noise and other issues. Moog has designed a one piece driver side front sway bar end link that has improved performance, ease of installation and a longer service life compared to the OE design.
Quick and Easy InstallationThis Moog Problem Solver with powdered metal bearings to provide the most durable wear surface available. The forged housing provides superior strength in severe duty environments. A greaseable design allows for fresh lubrication to reach the bearing surfaces while flushing out contaminants. Premium polychloroprene boots resist tearing and splitting. Moog added wrench flats at the base of the stud to allow for a positive hold leading to a quick and easy installation.
