suspension part questions

Alright, so my new mr2 entirely fails to get an inspection sticker, so I need some parts- but firstly, I need more information.

I was told that the things that fail are:
Rear struts (both)
Front inner tie rod ends (both)
right-front sway bar link


Now looking at two's are us I can find the rear struts easily enough, as well as the tie rod ends- but I don't know the first thing about a sway bar- What exactly is a sway bar link? It doesnt appear to be a sway bar, so I'm just confused. The car has zero rust, so its not like some joint is just rusted out...

Also, I presume that the struts don't include coils- what kind of rigging do I need to replace the struts? I'd imagine I'd have to compress the coils to disassemble this thing...
