Default Can someone identify this thing?

Sorry, I dont have a good pic so I resorted to my MS paint skills....


Sorry for crappy quality. Anyways, this piece is missing from my front suspension. I think it may be the end link, but I haven't noticed any performance problems at all...
This is off an 02 WRX sedan

First - Is this an endlink?
Next - Are these easy to replace?
Last - What are some reliable aftermarket replacements that aren't overpriced?

that sorta looks like an endlink without the stud sticking out of each end. they are easy to replace. is your swaybar connected to anything at the ends?

I have done nothing to modify the suspension of this car so if the stock swaybar is supposed to connect to this then it certainly is not connected I'm at work right now so I can't take a good look. I was hoping to get some ideas so I can order a new set today or tomorrow.

end link for sure. good drawing btw.

take it to the dealership and make them replace it.

edit: just noticed its off your 02wrx. everyone seems to like kartboy for cheap, reliable endlinks.

I recommend Kartboy endlinks and I'm very curious as to how you "lost" and endlink. I've seen them snap before and bend but never go missing completely. Pictures would be cool.

BTW call up Racecompengineering. They are very close to you in MD. Shipping should be short or you could just drop by.

If you want to stay stock, I have my stock 07 endlinks. If they'll fit and you want them, let me know. But yes, endlink and +1 on the drawing!
