Hi All,

Appears it's the inner control bar bushing.

Thanks!

The red circle is where the rubber bushing went bad. Is it possible to just replace that rubber part? All the front passenger sway bar linkages I have searched look nothing like the circled blue part...

That's a lower control arm. The sway bar is the part in the second photo that's shaped like an upside down U.

Based on the condition of the boot on the control arm bushing, it's likely dirt has gotten in there and wrecked it.

Ah... Thanks! Can the boot on the control arm bushing be replaced?

If so, is this the correct part?
