It's always hard to diagnose a sound from a word description, and particularly a one-word description. What kind of click is it, and does it click just once, or click click click. But i doubt it's sway bar bushings, but anything is possible. If your sway bar bushings are making noise, they would do it over bumps too. And clicking would not be the typical noise. I'd check the thrust arms - the ones that point forward on each side, and then all the other arms. But a noise like that can also be from other sources. Like a flex joint in the drive shaft or one of the bushings that hold the whole rear suspension carriage to the body.
