They are the small links between the end of the anti-roll bars and the suspension arms.
Mine had only a small amount of play but really made a lot of noise at lower speeds (-40mph) over uneven ground. I replaced them with whiteline ones and the noises have vanished. Turn in and responses improved drastically too but I had the wheel alignment done shortly after so I don't really know how much of it down to that.

Look here - http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=495856

The picture shows 3 - original (left), Whiteline steel (middle) & Whiteline alloy (right)

You can buy them from Extreme Japanese, Demon Tweeks, etc..
