think the lack of that rubber bushing is causing all my noise?

 

Yep, that looks like an exterior bumpstop. Obviously without it, the shock is going to keep compressing until it hits something, usually rubber or hard foam, but the rubber is gone here. I wouldn't have a doubt that you already have or are close to blowing that shock, is that corner especially bouncy? I would contact KYB or Aerospeed and get a new bumpstop ASAP.

Also, those sway bar end links are about $10 a piece for the bolt and rubber.

 

Welcome to the site. I hope you get your questions answered.

 

Well got the Pro-Kit on tonight. Car now rides better when I hit bumps but having another issue. I still have the same metal to metal sound when i go over certain bumps. Its like a metal to metal rattle. I dont understand what it is. Its like its worse now with the new springs than it was before. Do you think it could be the sway bar bushing being gone making the noise? I dont understand.

 

Pro-Kits tend to be on the noisy side, there are numerous threads, including one of my own, reporting the same issue. None of us have any clue as to what it is.

 

Thats not good. This though is so loud and obvious i just dont see how it could be the springs. It sounds like i left the top of the shocks loose. Like i didnt tighten them down or something. Sounds like there just bouncing around in there.
