A little more information. Year/model. Some sway bar links become loose because of wear and the links continue to work but make a noise when the front end hits a bump. Other sway bar links will break altogether and the vehicle will lean excessivly when going around a corner.
The links go on the end on the sway bar and hook to the suspension. Bushings are used to connect the sway bar to cars frame.
A sway bar is a torsion bar mounted laterally on a suspension and is designed to reduce side sway. The sway bar attempts to accomplish this by transferring movement from one side of the suspension to the other. This is done through the connection of a torsion bar to each side of an axle by flexible links. (Sway bar links)

Broken sway bar or sway bar links.
I had a vibration in my 2002 and I replaced the sway bar and sway bar links.
You have to remove the end links, then remove the sway bar bushings (there are two) and the sway bar will come out. Sway Bars usually do not need to be replaced unless they are bend or completely broken. It is usually end links being worn or the bushings being warn out.
I'M NOT A MECHANIC but check the front sway bar links to see if they are broken - years ago my 1995 Explorer was recalled for free replacement of defective sway bar links. Also, do you still have the original shock absorbers , or are they leaking or damaged ?
Worn out front sway bar links or bushings can do that.
It has a sway bar in the front and in the rear. It has a connecting link at each end of each sway bar = 4 total
A bad sway bar will cause vehicles to shift from side to side more easily when turning. The sway bar provides stability and limits motion.
