i baught that part, for both sides of my car. Its called the stabilizer bar control link.
Its definately not a dealer or a bend over part! my dealer i think quoted my $37 and where i work it was $35. Napa sells them.

ya but when it gests as bad as yours is (mine was that bad too) Where the joints have separated the removal method isnt going to work. If you have a look at the link you will see that there is a hex key on the end that is used to help in removing but often enough they end up sheering or are really rusted out like mine were.
Wehn i got my car both of mine (front end) were completely broken apart. I attemted to remove it with vice grips holding the ball part but that didnt work. I just got so fed up i grabbed my brinder and grinded the bolt off. Id say i spent about a hour and a half on one side trying to get the bolt to crack with a breaker bar and wrench but that didnt work so i broke out the grinder and within 5 mins or less it was off. I tried the same thing on the other side for about 10 mins but i ended up just grinding it off too.
So my advice would be to go to canadian tire and pick up one of there cheap $30 grinders and use that. Saves alot of time and hassle, not to mention the sciled knuckles when the wrench slips :P
