Default Missing bushing on the rear end?

So as I was getting my new tires I noticed....



but to make matter worse, i got to the other side and notice....



And yes I realize that the shocks/spring/LCAs are ****, I'm working on that, but what's the P/N to the bushing and how much is it for the pair?

Those are your rear sway bar end links. The drivers side appears OK, while the passenger side is missing. You can get them at any parts store, cheap. Get both sides. Each should come in a kit with all the bushings, sleeve, link and nut.

yup, i paid $7.50 each for mine

you might as well replace both, i had one go bad so i only replaced the bad one, and 3 months later i found that my other one was bad

not worth the time and hassle of getting all of the tools back out, jacking the car up, etc. when you can just do it all at one time

it takes literally 5 min to replace one side if you are working slow

You can get the Energy Suspension sway bar end links at Autozone or Advance for like $19 for the pair, just measure the spacer so you know what size to get. I put those on my daily driver and it got rid of some of the body roll.
