Question front suspension broke...

Hi, I am looking for a diagram/drawing of the front suspension of a 02' 2500 ram 4x4. 360 gas. I've been hearing squeaks and upon a quick inspection, I discovered a broken part. Not sure of the name of it. It is a vertical bolt assembly joining a type of stabilizer rod. The horizontal rod assembly is fine and is about 1.25" in diameter, but the broken vertical bolt assembly looks only about 3/8"-1/2" dia thick. There are rubber bushings with this vertical bolt assembly too to add to the description. I would like to order new parts, but I will need a definite proper name to look up the parts. Thanks in advance.

the vertical rod in the center of the pic is what is broken at the base, inside rubber pieces. the vertical rod appears black in the center of compared to other parts around it. It is just to the right of the coil spring.

Oh, that's a sway bar endlink. You're going to need two of those guys. Likely they'll come as a pair, granted I haven't looked in a while.

And your front axle is a Dana 60.
