Why would you need that part? if you have movement/clunking, you need the black part that slides over it and that being the "Lower Control Arm" aka LCA. I think the part your circled is called "gusset" though, I may be wrong.

Your LCA bushing is shot. Get new LCAs, the other side isnt very far behind.

I believe it's called the "pin link bushing" that metal zig zag part.
