Default Rear sway bar question?

Does anyone know the name or part # of the black connectors near the wheel off of the rear sway bar. I just changed my exhaust out and while I was doing it I dropped the rear sway bar out of the way and noticed those on both sides where in bad shape. Thanks for any help.

Since the car is a 98..I say hes talking about the endlinks?
get metal ones...or better yet..but a used Z06 swaybar with end links...

New endlinks from GM are about 80 bucks..a Z06 front and rear swaybar set with endlinks...~2-3 hundred?

Go with the stock endlinks to replace the plastic composite OE ones. Upgrading to a set of Z51 or Z06 Swaybars is a good idea.
