Default Clunking in Rear / 4GS Rear Sway Bar Bushings?

Hello all,
Has anyone ever removed the rear sway bar on a 4GS GS350 non F sport and inspected the components? There is some clunking in the rear, specifically when going over a speed bump and turning at the same time (imagine going into apartment complexes where they have speedbumps that are crossed midway through a turn).
There's a bit of play on the sway bar too, last time I had the car on jack stands i pulled on the sway bar and it wasn't very stiff, since I was able to push left and right/ up and down a good amount where it meets the end links.

I tried figuring out the part number but am having issues. On some sites part number for this component is 48818 30260, on myLparts this is incorrect...

Any help is appreciated if someone has tackled this problem before.

My rear clunking was resolved by replacing the one of the rear end links so you might want to check those out.

Check the sunroof seal first. Press on the glass to see if the clunk stops, replace sunroof seal if it does. Solved my clunk.

Do this first before you spend anything on actual suspension component replacements.
