Default sway bar question

Hey,
Wondering what the part that the end of the sway bar connects to is called.
was under my 97 4dr 4x4 blazer just now and noticed the end of the sway bar was hanging little low and wasnt connected to the rubbery bolt kinda thing. Sorry for the terms i know next to nothing about suspensions. Is this a problem that I have to get fixed ASAP? What kind of problems can this cause. and how hard is it to fix?

Yep, endlink They're not that hard to replace so don't fret too much. I'm sure you can find a very good step by step online. If you've done one sway bar you've pretty much done 'em all. Then again I've only replaced sway bars/compenents on GM vehicles haha.

so went to checker auto, got 2 end links, then there was 2 diff size bushings and I dont know what size sway bar i got. so i was just gonna get both sizes since they were only 11 bux each. then i figured i would use the one that fit and return the ones that dont. But of course they didnt have them in stock, nor did 3 other checker/Orielys. just cant catch a break sometime ha ha ah
