If you are going to replace the bushings, go ahead and do the end links. They aren't that expensive and you'll be good for a long time. Actually there are 4 nuts in the kit. The picture has 2 of them attached to the top of the "stud". That wider center section is actually a sleeve/spacer that slides in between the end of the stabilizer bar and the A-arm, between the washer/bushing assemblies. When you do this repair, take note of the design of the bushings, they have a raised center on one side that is used to center them in the larger holes in the stabilizer bar end and also in the A-arm. Also note the way the washers mount, they are cupped and designed to fit on in one direction. This is not a difficult repair. You may want to spray the threaded ends of the old links with PB Blaster (best rust penetrate I've seen/used)and let it soak in for a while. It'll help make breaking the nuts loose a lot easier.
Note that some of the OEM end links don't use this sleeve arrangement but are machined with a wider center spacer section already there. They both work the same, price is the big difference.
