Diagonal Rod Near Tire

First time posting and I've searched for this problem and haven't found a thread.
I'm usually just searching and find solutions over the past three years with my fit.
Anyway, there's been some odd noise near the passenger tire the past two weeks. I wrote it off and decided I'd bring it in at some point. Today I took a turn and it got much louder. Got home and took a look around. Thankfully it's not the tie rod...that would've been bad. But I don't know what this is or how to fix it.





Thanks in advance!

It's your sway bar link end. Easy fix but you SHOULD REMOVE it for the time being to drive the car. You can drive with only one side attached until you fix it without any harm or damage to the vehicle.

Thank you! Saved me a lot of worry. Minnesota salty roads are no good for anything under the car.

Mine was making loud noises until I changed it (driver side) at 40,000 mi.
In order to change it, BOTH front wheels must be off the ground
