Almost any of the sponsors here can get you upgraded endlinks (that's called an "endlink" with poly bushings for better performance) or you can usually get stock replacment ones from autozone, advance, checker/shucks/cragan, napa, etc. Just tell them you need an end link (and front or rear) for your year and model car. Also, I'd replace them in pairs. Get 2 new ones and do them both.

Almost all of them break when you try to remove them. It's not unusual.

I successfully removed mine... slowly, but the heat generated was amazing. Those suckers were HOT by time I got them apart.

A wire brush and some penitrating oil would take care of that problem next time. But if your cheap go to a hardware store and find a similar length bolt,nut and washer ,and thier you go. Just use your old stuff with it.

If you plan on keeping the car for a fair amount of time, I'd order a new hollow 35mm bar from Stranoparts.com and get the bushing and new links that come with it. You'll appreciate the feel!
