Sway bar links

Finally got the mechanic to take photos of the 15 inch sway bar links that need to be replaced. Any help on obtaining these parts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
EMT living in Missouri. Recently purchased 1987 Gran Villa 36 Ft. long,460 Ford engine with 40,000 miles on it, new tranny has 3000 miles on it, coach has 75000 miles on it, new 5000 watt genny new fridge, new tires. Am both excited and scared out of my wits at the size of this beast. Love it but need time to become accustomed to it's size.  I'm sure it will take time to experience all the secrets this RV has to offer. Any and all advice gratefully accepted.

I don't see anything wrong with the tubes you are referring to as links. Clean and paint, but it does look like you need the bushings as the one on the right has space between the bushing and the tube.

You just need the bushings. Maybe,  Take a bushing off and match it up for a shock/ sway bar  mount at NAPA.
 School bus might be similar.  Look under some mid size busses.
 Or look online for that size .
  In a pinch, remove the nut , add a washer and tighten the nut.
      If the nut does not seat on a solid shoulder,  tighten enough to compress the bushing plus a turn or two, Loctite blue the nut.
