Default Sway Bar Fell Off

On my way home from work today, I started hearing some scraping when I'd go over a bump or turn. I pulled over and took the attached pics. Somehow my sway bar popped off on both sides. I haven't had a chance to get under there yet as its 22 degrees here in Chicagoland, and my Mustang is under construction in the garage, so I'm going to wait until Saturday when its supposed to be 45 degrees here to get under there.

Any tips on how to fix this? Is this common?

Ok cool, thanks! Would any parts store carry these, or would I have to head to a Chevy dealer?

So I got under there, looks like a super easy job. Except I can't get the old end links off. The bottom part of the link has broken off, but the two bushings that are over the metal ring on the car won't come off. I've hammered them, PB blasted them, pryed them, etc.

Any tips?
