Where did it fail?
Did it fail at the joint or elsewhere?
Plastic or metal?
Stock anti-roll bar or aftermarket?
I haven't heard of many of these failing. I'd bet the failure was at the joint and that it had probably leaked or failed for some other reason.
As Mike said, the solution is to replace them. You can only buy the metal ones now. If you are using a larger anti-roll bar then they are probably wise anyway.
Oh, if the other link is still in good shape when you take it off then send it to me. I use them on my winter set-up because they're lighter but can't get them anymore. :-)
