I need another doohickey identified, if someone could help me out.

I was changing my rotors and pads yesterday and I noticed that I have this thing that's broken on both sides. I'm hoping someone can tell me what it is and what it does and how difficult it's going to be to replace.
Below are some pictures. Hopefully you can see them, if not, let me know and I'll figure out why not.
Thanks guys.

Thats your sway-bar. You must lean quit a bit on turns.

 

[y0diggity]

Not sure if I do or not. It's probably been like that since I bought it, so I wouldn't really have anything to compare it to. So do I just replace that on part that goes between the two? If so, do I just tell them I want a sway bar and then bolt it in on the top and bottom? More info please What's entailed in the repair of this item?

**edit** Is this the "sway bar link kit" at the parts store?

You should not need the bar itself. Just the bolt and the nylon fittings that were lost when it broke.

Is the other side the same way?

Call the parts store and tell them your sway bar bolts broke. See what they have in stock. A GM Dealer should have the parts on the shelf.....

The bar is still there, you need the ends like 95TwinTT says.

Yeah, I hate those things. So cheap and flimsy, it's a wonder why they don't break more often.

you can make your own like i did. If you want info pm me. I made some really high performance looking ones that dont flex at all

I installed the new ones, but something doesn't seem right. I ran out of thread on the bolt, and there's still play between the ends. The sleeve and the two inside bushings move freely. Is this ok, or did I install it wrong? Pictures are below, as always.

 

[Ed Blown Vert]

Nope its not tight enough. Everything should be snugged together.
Are they the correct parts?

 

[y0diggity]

The guy gave me Duralast part # SL93. I checked the website and that's what's listed their too. I assume that there needs to be a bushing on each side of each end of it, right? Not all 4 bushings go in the middle, do they? If so, then I have it put together wrong, but that would definitely snug it up.
