The ball that holds the drop link to the sway bar is loose.
Can it be fixed? How? Are they replaceable? Thanks for the help!

I bought it used. I didn't take all the drop links off while I was looking at it, so this went undiscovered until I disassembled everything for cleaning and powdercoating.

I'm sure the bar is tempered and the ball is tempered but not the same. So no you can't just weld it. Well you can but it won't work for long. These were crimped on at a foundry of some sort, and yours being lose has surely worn the both parts. There is a NOS one on Ebay now for like $50 with new drop links. Sorry to bring bad news.

Well I had mine welded up about 4 years ago for the very same reason and its still working just fine...Weld it from the back side of the bar away from the ball side.
Glad to bring you good news!
