bolt broke off, not good!
recently i got an exhaust and soon after i noticed a thump from the front end while driving. dont' think there is any relation, just my luck for the next thing to go wrong. but i checked around the control arm, rotors, etc. and noticed this bolt and bushings missing.
the good one(driver side)
the bad one(passenger side)
any suggestions on what happened, what i need to get and replacement price. thanks

Sway bar end link kits should cost you no more then $10 each, it is best to replace both at once. You will need a long pry bar to get the proper leverage on the sway bar to get the links on. Ford wants about $35 each for their end links. The ones form the parts store will look a little different then the stock parts, the only difference is the the Ford parts has a plastic covering over the center spacer.
edit
It looks like your driver side has been replaced before. you can see the difference in the bushing colors and center spacers.
