After 10 yrs. 1st. ever replacement : need help

[bmninada]

After +10 yrs of NYC / NJ roads finally encountered clunking sounds, etc. and found my sway bar links driver side: gone. I believe the correct part # is KD35-34-170.

Just wondering if I am correct and as I usually buy only from MED MAZDA should I buy 2 of them? Is there any after market which is BETTER? I know Mazda has this so called value line which I tend to avoid so might as well as ask - does that apply here?

Also my mechanic told me I should change my oil pan bolt and washer. Any help appreciated.

Idunno if the same applies to the front but I just replaced the left rear stabilizer link and found that the left and right are different parts. (I got the. Both ... Figured if one went, the other is probably close behind .
