Stabilizer link, or "sway bar links", they connect your sway bar to the lower control arm. The stock ones have an allen head on the end of them so that you can hold that and tighten it, I think it was a 17mm. You should be able to do it just by taking the wheel off. but if it is at an extreme angle then just jack up the lower control arm to alleviate the torsion. If the bolt is too bent to screw that nut back on just get new ones. They are pretty cheap to replace, just don't get ebay ones, get some good quality replacements. They will make a metallic clinking noise going over bumps and turning if they are bad.
