Is this sway bar link bad ? (see pics)
 

I'm pretty sure that it is bad. Does it need to be replaced? What symptoms would this cause? I'm hearing a rattle when I go over sharp bumps, what this be the cause?

Both the sway bar endlink and lower shock bushing look bad. Good time to pick up a kit and replace everything.

Well, I ordered new links. I hope that fixes my jingle/rattle. I hope replacement is as easy as it looks.
