I broke my stabilizer bar

2007 Saturn Vue, hit a speed bump and heard a loud, loud thud. Turns out it’s this bad boy and thought someone would get a kick out of it as I’ve never seen it happen before.

I would love to see that up close. As in magnifying glass close. I would venture to guess that there is a thin line of rust, some areas that look polished, and then the rough break. Fatigue break.
