I have looked at the front and the drive axle and you're correct they do look to be the same although I haven't taken a caliper to it. They also replaced the panhard bar but finally gave up and the culprit was the bushings on the tag axle! The first thing that I noticed is there was a negative camber on the tag axle tires I had asked Richard and some other gurus if this was normal and it is not those bushings made a world of difference. Steve recently replaced his panhard bar but his bushings were good and it made a world of difference for him. Sorry to get off of your thread, I'm sure someone but more knowledge than me will chime in.
Thanks Jack, yea I have found a significant amount of play in the front drag link, cross shaft and tie rods. Took out a good 3/4"-1" of play, I could move the tire back and forth that much by hand. I think I am down to closer to 1/16 of play now. 
I have visually inspected the tag bushings and the panhard bar and I do not see anything out of place. I am going to get the tires put on this weekend and then hopefully get it out for a test drive and see how it does. If I am still not happy then I will investigate more on the tag and panhard bar. 
I just want to fix the sway bar bushings as they are worn out and I do not want to hear any banging or do any damage.
