front end clunk/rattle
just had the ball joints replaced in my 2003 F250 with 7.3L. 80% of the clunking noise is gone, but i'm still getting some in the front end. the mechanic said it could be the shock bushings, but i was told by the dealer that it's all one piece and that you can't order just the bushings. then he mentioned that it might be the swaybar link too.
just wondering if anyone has had the same experience and what you might have found.
the truck has all stock suspension and running gear with 65K on it.
thanks in advance,

I had the same noise in mine. I removed the swaybar and drop links and the noise was gone. Replace bushings and reinstalled. Good to go. I now have another noise that I believe is the top drag link bushing. Just haven't been able to change it out. And yes you can change shock bushing with poly bushing. It is a little trouble but can done. IMO if the shock bushings are worn out then it prolly time for shocks anyway.
