Bushings for each side.

Those are swaybar disconnects and look to be jks brand.The end is missing a bushing you could try jks see if they will sell you just the bushing.

Thats the plan but they already seem pretty old so why not just replace it all at once?

At the top the bolt that goes through the bushing and u-strap. Should there be a nut that holds things together? In the actual pic of the u-strap it doesn't look like it's tapped? It must be cause I see no nut in any of the actual pics.
