Default lower rear trailing arms help

I just returned home from a trip to Tennessee in my 99 Vette.It rained most all the way home and the car seemed to hydroplane pretty bad.I thought it was from the wet roads but thought it was odd that the car would handle that bad.It got so bad that I got off the interstate in Ky and drove the back roads at a lower speed.Upon inspecting the rear susp it looks like to me that the tabs that the sway bar bolts to on the lower control arms are broken loose on both arms.Is this possible? What would cause this to happen? Help please.

Are you referring to the endlinks? If so, they are plastic, and members have had them break. If this is the case, Gene Culley can get you the new style metal endlinks...

Are you saying the mount on the lower control arm cracked/damaged and the end link is still attached to the sway bar but not at the control arm?
