Picked up some parts today. I got a complete set of sway bar bushings plus
some new links. The guys on jeepforum.com suggested that it might be the
calipers so I'm going to go ahead and replace those too. I'll be sure to
post back afterwards if I'm able to solve the problem.

Thanks again for all the help and suggestions!

I would replace that one broken link before spending another cent on it!

I do not think the 'extra' parts are needed nor do I recommend changing
calipers because that opens up a whole other issue with brake fluids,
master cylinders that can/will fail while bleeding, etc...

I can't imagine why the parts counter guy suggests front calibers
for a "clunk" noise.??

Sounded a bit odd to me as well. If calipers are clunking it's usually due
to worn mounting bolts or bushings, both cheap and easy to fix. Then usually
they don't "clunk" but rather just cause abnormal (unequal) pad wear.
