stabilizer llink broken

Had my struts replaced on my car, and the shop noted that my right stabilizer link was broken... Don't have much cash right now, is this something I should have fixed right away?

Stabilizer links are a $10 part, and you can (usually) fix it yourself easily in 15 minutes.

A stabilizer link connects the stabilizer bar to the lower arm of the suspension. When a vehicle is turning, lateral forces from the tire are transmitted through the stabilizer link into the stabilizer bar. The stabilizer bar will twist, thus adding rigidity to the vehicle body.

Some shops will offer payment plans.
