Default Something Is broken...

Okay where the sway bar attaches to a thin circular peice of metal down to a bushing and a ball joint. Well the bushing broke away from the ball. I know this isn't prob a good description. I will try to take pics. Anyone know what I am talking about without me posting pics? I was wondering if this is to hard for me to fix or if I need to take her in again...

***PICS ADDED***

I've never had to replace that part, but accessing it should be easy enough. I just threw in some spacers on my 07 1500 and taking the arm and sway bar apart was a walk in the park.

Sounds like link pins. Fairly easy job.Remove old pin with die grinder or saw,or torch (careful) then assemble pin.look at pin on other side for referance if it is still intact.U might have to pry on control arm or sway bar for nut to catch a couple threads then tighten till bushins squish rather tightly. BOBS UR UNCLE

Your swaybar link is broken, buy spicer chassis parts-only the best. Moog doesnt cut it

Buy spicer chassis parts, they cost a little more, but better than moog
