Stabilizer Bar Link
Recently started to hear a clunk at low speeds and determiend it to be a broken link between the front stabilizer bar and A arm. The top side connecting to the A arm appears to have 'popped' off.
My question is, how is the link connected to to the A arm? There is a nut on the bottem side, but the top appears to have a cap on it or some other mechanism.
Any suggestions on replacing this? It looks to be a pretty easy job.
Do both sides need to be done, or is replacing just the broken one acceptable.
Thanks in advance.

I actually just had my driver side replaced about a little over a month ago. I only replaced the one, didn't do both. My buddy had it done in about 5 minutes or so. He did it for me since he works in the frame shop at the same dealership I work at and I'm in parts, so easier for him to do it than me. =)

go to Auto Zone and buy a "kit" for $20. you get two threaded studs base washers, 4 rubber pads and the 4 nut washers.. what you are looking at is a washer slid down onto the stud, it bottoms out about 3 inches down. you put a rubber pad on the washer, then stick the stud thru the frame, then rubber pad and washer- nut on top, then tighten to crunch the rubbers about 20%. same thing on the other end. go ahead and do both.
