Default Broken sway bar link

I was trying to take the bolt off the top of the sway bar link and BAM. It broke off. My question is, can i use any XJ front right sway bar link to replace mine or do i need the same year as mine(2000)? Thanks for all answers and input!
This is how it looks now

just from the look of the pic it seems you only broke the link.. i dont think you need awhole new sway bar.. if they are stock try to find one at a JY or take the other one off and make quick discos..

Yesterday on my lunch brake there was an autozone across the street and i grabbed 1 and i threw that on. Thanks for the responses guys. I for some reason figured this was going to be some over priced part.
