Thought sombody was supposed to honk at me if parts fell off??

Driving home last night, heard a noise that I thought was the tire rubbing the fender. (Over size tires, they sometimes do that.) Didn't think much of it at the time. I am leaving about 10 minutes later and drive by the same spot where I heard the noise and see truck parts in the road.

Something clicks with me and I know it's off of my truck lol... I don't know what this piece is called so maybe somebody could help with that? The pieces actually fit inside eachother, so it's kind of one part.



and here is where it goes:



It looks pretty easy to do so I am thinking auto parts store and a little while under the truck. any tips or ideas?

Oh and I assume I should do both at the same time?

yeah that's what I was thinking.. but then I over thought it... and I was thinking it was something different. edit: the reason I was thinking it was something different was because the truck still drove fine. with replacing the tie rods ends, will I need to re align it?

That's the swaybar endlink. Vatozone calls it a swaybar repair kit. Yes, do both. They're cheap.

I'll be doing a pair today as well.

Not a tie rod. The tie rod is in the 2nd photo still there, it goes diagonally through the pic.

What those guys said. If it is a vehicle that you wheel, look into replacing that piece with quick disconnects.

Yeah, but its much easier if you lift both wheels off the ground in the front so the swaybar doesn't load up during installation and make your life difficult.
