Doesn't look like that link is valid, I didn't even think to try to take the number off the part... stupid me.

Don't buy the aftermarket, they don't hold up!

Measure your sway bar diameter as there are 2 sizes and match one up. Go to a junk yard and get a new one. You are going to have to drill the broken bolts and use an easy-out to remove them. Just use the bushing from the junk yard as well but lube it with some grease first. Get one just like the other side:

what really sucks about this situation is it looks as though the bolts broke off and are seriously rusted. if they broke off id hate say it but its gonna be a bitch gettin those ****ers out. prolly have to drill em out and tap em or a new control arm.

Finding the part will be the hard part for me. I will leave it to a pro to drill the rusted bolts out. I would seriously mess the threads up I'm sure. I was just hoping I could find a used bracket on Ebay or something...
