If you don't know what you're looking at, it's a radius rod bush. It holds the end of the front sway bar in the control arm. It's also what's causing my car to pull to the left

correct me if im wrong, that blue/black colored piece seems to be a bit cracked and crumbling?
a few years after switching to the whiteline front sway bar, mine started to look like this and make a lot of creeking noise going over bumps. think i got poly bushing replacements from super pro...and havent had any issues since.
very nice pics!

Oh yeah, and make sure you fix the oil leak before or at the same time as the bushing - or it will happen again in short order.
