I have noticed that I was getting a clunking sound when I going around curves and going over bumps. I went looking under my truck and this what I found? Looks like a missing bushing. What would that part be? I have about 111000 miles on this vehicle. What parts should I all consider replacing? My body mounts also appear they need attention as well.

that vertical rod is called a 'sway bar end link'. you should be able to buy just the bushings at any auto store, or as a kit that includes the link and bushings

Is the the OEM replacement part? MOTORCRAFT MEF190 What would be a good aftermarket part? I could consider Moog. Also, what would be good body mount replacement?
