What I discovered was my Nylon bushing were starting to wear through on a couple of them. The the real problem I discovered, was after 22,000 miles some of the bolts had sheared the spline's that lock them in place, so instead of turning in the nylon bushing they were wearing the linkage plates.
A couple of them looked ready to fail.


Another TIP:
If your bolts are hard to remove, or you don't feel like removing them, you can leave the bolts and shackles attached to the center equalizer and save some time. See pic below
