Exclamation Stabilizer Bar , Help !

Not sure what part this is =/
I'm new to this, I just have a couple questions I need answered .
I have a 2004 Expedition - EB 4x4 5.4L . When i got it I noticed the bar wasnt how it was supposed to be , like there was a problem with it before. I was driving up the street & out of nowhere car started swerving , Thought i had a flat, but i looked & saw that the rear passenger side bar snapped in half.
Wondering where I could order this part at, & if i can order just the passenger side. Don't wanna burn a hole in my pocket by having everything replaced professionally. Might end up having to go to junk yard.


Rear passenger side, The broken piece ^^


Rear driver side , (nonbroken piece) ^^

That is called a toe link. You can purchase it and replace it yourself. Although you will need an alignment afterwards. Dealer is always an option although I think Rock Auto has them as well. You could go used, but if the boot is damaged when removed it will wear out fairly soon. I replaced one on my wife's Explorer because of a bad boot and I think it was about $140 or so at the dealer.

Ive been told like three different things , for some reason no one agrees on what part that is . Ima look into what you said though and stop by the dealers and see what can be done . Thank you !

People may call it different names because they don't know, I didn't know the name of it. Follow alloro's link to the parts catalog, it's called a toe link.

By the way, I commented on your rims post and this really makes me think you're previous owner hit something or was hit. That part shouldn't break without some kind of damage to initiate a crack. I'd look around the rear suspension and body for more signs of damage and/or repairs. I might even get a carfax, or similar report, to see if there is any accident/repair history.
