I think you will have to replace the link (vertical bar, 51 ft-lbs) that connects to the stabilizer bar. It looks like it or the stud in the end broke off. There is a stud that fits in the end and fits up throught the hole in the stabilizer bar. You are also missing two bushings and two retainers and a nut (14 ft-lbs) that threads on the stud and hold the stabilizer bar to the link. Your handling will improve alot if you fix this.

I'm guessing Toyota doesn't sell these parts, I probably have to go to Home Depot or something. Thanks for the reply, I'll give it a try.

Do have any idea how much they cost? Would it be cheaper to do it myself?

It is easy to do yourself, but there is no alternative to buying the parts.
