end links maybe? I had somewhat of a same issue after my coilover install.. this week I was getting some work done and noticed the link was broken. we replaced it and the issue is gone.. get underneath it. maybe lubricate some areas...

endlinks are the tiny rods that connect your sway bars to your suspension. looks like this, I circled the endlink for you. Expect to pay 250-300 at the dealership, a regular mechanic would probably charge you 200 or less. It can also be your bushings going bad, or ball joint so really your best bet is to have your trusty mechanic test it out for you if you're not too mechanically enclined.

I"ve never heard them been called ENDLINKS-i have been noticing that term a lot on this site....must be an american thing. In Canada we call them Sway bar links. is that not used over there guys??

sway bar end links is the correct term- we are lazy and...

Moog makes beefy replacements for cheap- the rears seem to break especially during shock installation

I just put the moog's on last week. they are greasable too, which is better than the non-greasable ones. (As long as you grease them regularily). and yes, they are priced reasonable. and ya-pretty much all sway bar links never come off without breaking, or torching them off. This is why engineers should try picking up a wrench once in a while.
