It's everything else that goes. If you are looking to start with the easy and cheap, start with the sway bar links as you said. Have a look at the foam "washer" that goes on top of the strut. When it wears out it will let the strut top contact the tower and make a racket. That's what prompted replacing all of the below for us.

What foam washer? And how do I check it, I've heard the same thing about the wishbone too, I was thinking about doing a suspension refresh with Lemforder too, but some people say that the bushings are worse than OEM and yeah I won't have full strength in anything that requires my shoulder or arm to be out stretched, the surgeon said it could take a whole year, so that's why I wanted to hope it was something simple... and none of friends I trust working on my car, have a friend with an Audi S4 and his policy is I'll break things taking it apart then replace it with something new lol.
