Front stabilizing bar links?

Took the Ex to the local dealer for a diagnosis of a clunk. They couldn't be sure but told me the front stabilizing bar link bushings are busted out.

Can't see any reason to spend $300 to have them fix it so thought I'd do the job using these: Car Part Wholesale - Auto Parts and Accessories Catalog - Ford Excursion Moog Sway Bar Link Kit K80043 - 2003 Ford Excursion Moog Sway Bar Link Kit

Any tips for this repair?

Thanks.

I just replaced my swaybar bushing and now it rides like I'm on a cloud!

Easy bolt on, You could change them yourself in less the half an hour. All you need is a couple of wrenches, you don't even have to jack it up.

Thanks for the tip. How can you tell? The website doesn't say anything about that.
