While working on my front brakes I saw the sway bay mount, front passenger side is snapped.
Drat.
I hope the bolt is easily replaced....

When you go to buy that it's usually referred to as a Sway Bar Link and you'll get the bolt, nut, the rubber bushings, and the washers all in the kit. I would replaced the links on both ends of the sway bar if I was you. They have them on RockAuto.com for a few bucks each kit.

No big deal. Check the other side while you are at it. Both wheels have to be jacked up off the ground at the same time to replace it.
The entire aftermarket assy costs only about €10.- incl. freight in these parts, maybe not much more in CDN and the States.
It must have been making noises for some time.
When you replace it, tighten the top nut that much, that 20mm of the thread protrudes above. Then it has the correct torque. See FSM.
I ordered a moog end link kit for mine a while ago. It came with the parts to do only one side.

Not a terrible cost. I guess I'm crawling under soon.
