If the bar is fractured, there is an available kit to weld a new tip to the bar. Replacing the entire bar (10 hours work) isn't cost effective for a vehicle of this age.

nah, look at the pic, there is no where near enough threaded end to clear even the inner part of the UCA... it's broken. the threaded end should stick out of the inner bushing, and have plenty of meat to reach the outer bushing.
OP, click on the link in the 2nd post, and then click on the link in whunter's thread, and look at the part that needs to be welded onto the end of your sway bar. the instructions for what needs to be done are also in that link... the end of your bar needs to be cut smooth, and the new end needs to be welded onto it.
