Default Mazda B2500 1999 - Front Suspension

Hello,

New here... I am posting this for a friend who has a 1999 Mazda B2500, standard trans. It looks like there are some bushings missing from what I believe is part of the front suspension. Sorry, I am not very mechanical -- beyond simple oil and filter changes.

In the pics, you can see there is about 2 inches of movements on the rod. I think there should be rubber bushings here, but they are missing from both sides.

First, what are these called (are they the front stabilizer bar studs)? And second, is this a simple fix -- such as unscrewing the bolt, installing the bushings and screwing the bolt back? Or does it require something more significant?

Thanks for the help!
