Mazdaspeed3 Gen1 2008 Rear sway arm bushings and stabilizer links

Warning ! working on your own car is dangerous and all parts listed below are not guaranteed to work in your case so do your homework. this is just a guide of what I did to remedy a problem and how I was able to trouble shoot and resolve my issue as inexpensively as possible. For a little while now I had been getting the dreaded rear "clink clunk" of the sway bar when going over bumps slowly. I had ordered and installed the Moog sway bar bushing s and sway bar links in April 2016. The originals had lasted since 08, at least the records I have and for sure since 2012 when I bought the car. I am trying the Febest sway bar links  and Febest sway bar bushings  this time around as I though the moogs would have lasted longer and was not super happy with the boot design on the sway bar links. Tools required-ish: (depending on your current type of sway bar links) Hammer to start the bolts loose as there is limited space to get a longer ratchet under car for some of these 6
