Argh, so what am I missing here?

Heard a loud clunking noise when I was going over a deep driveway at an angle earlier today, then I discovered this (pic). The passenger side rear endlink is just detached from the rear camber arm.

I have Agency Power rear endlinks and RB sway bars, anyone knows what parts I need? Looks like I need to get a new set...!! Is it safe to drive my car around before the new parts arrive (I guess so!?)? Tks...

Is the the ball missing or just the bolt? Its not clear from the pic. You might need the bolt,nut and spacer only. I think I have some spare bolt set. Let me know.
You can drive the car, just take it easy.

"Fortunately" the ball is still there I think. Sent you a PM. Thanks.

Actually its not that ridiculous. Its happen if the bolt is not tightened enough. Nothing to worry about. Just put a new bolt and tighten it well. Check all the bolts and tighten them. AP links are pretty strong. I can't imagine they'll break.
PM'd back.

unlike the OE endlinks that have an integral stud, the AP endlinks have a loose bolt, if the nut comes loose the entire bolt falls out, as has happened here ...
