Default 2006 Mustang gt froint end clunk fix

as most 05 to 09 gt owners have a loud clunk that sounds like the front end is falling off, i found the fix on mine,after replacing the sway bar end links nothing changed so i took the sway bar off to investigate, before i removed it while i had the car jacked up i grabbed the bar on one end and pulled it side to side where i noticed plAy in the sway bar, sway bar bushings are poly from the factory so no need to replace them.went to SO CAL SPEED SHOP HERE IN LAS VEGAS AND THE GUY THERE GAVE ME AN IDEA,SHIM THE SWAY BAR BETWEEN THE BUSHING AND THE BUSHING STOP,not all sway bar stops are spot welded in the correct spot on some sway bar they are off just a little and arent even totally straignt, he sent me to a plumbing supply where i got neoprene O rings that fit the bar,i put one on each side between the stop and the bushing greased them and the bushing with WATER PROOF grease i got at a pool supply store, now no play at all, now i noticed the holes on the sway bar and the strut are a tiny bit bigger the the end link bolts, i wound plumber pipe dope around the thread where it gos into the strut and sway bar holes,no play , now tighten every thing snug with a little loc tight, no play no clunk my 06 gt is as smooth as a lincoln even over man hole covers and speed bumps, thanks SO CAL for the idea a total of 40 minutes to fix, im sending myself a bill
