Dumb Question? Factory endlinks
Can factory Sway bar end links go bad? I have rattling coming from the rear. I have checked all the bolts and nuts especiaaly on the end links. the knocking is not noticable on large bumps as much as it is on small ones. thats why i question the end links.

Yes, but it can also be any number of suspension components. You have quite a list of "mods" perhaps something is just loose?

The factory endlinks can break, but I can't think of how they'd rattle unless they were loose on one end or the other?

Loose factory endlinks on an adjustable swaybar will definitely rattle.
