Sway Bar Links

Hello, I am having unstable driving conditions on my 2009 Tacoma. I have had outer tie rods, wheel bearings, lower ball joint and control arm bushings replaced. But did not fix the problem. I noticed I could easily move my sway bar links by hand, and it appears one of the boots on it is no longer sealed. Would this cause those problems? It has 145,000 miles and they have never been replaced

 

Yes they will cause a loud knocking noise, they should be firm and not move easily.

 

I notice a slight knocking/popping sound when I am turning, not necessarily going straight though. It seems like the connection to the sway bar is tight, but I can easily move the whole link back and forth with my hand
