I think it is the sway bar link that you are referring to. If it has popped out as you say then there is a problem with it because they should not be able to just pop out. Have a look at the other side and measure the length of both of them because it could have broken a bit off the end so it popped out or the washer could have the centre torn out of it. You will need to undo the other side to lower the bar.
