This is what an endlink looks like. Op's picture looks nothing like an endlink, not even a busted endlink. Op, do you have any clues that would help us out? Like when, where, or is your car driving any different since you found this?

so certain...yet so wrong.

I stole this pic from blue2002ss



it is the center of a factory endlink, it's not rare for them to break. I would pick up 4 new ones at the local parts store and replace them all.

I stand corrected...It's been years since I've seen a stock one. Wow...

NO, that's what an Energy Suspension endlink looks like. The picture that the OP posted looks like a piece from an OE endlink
