Car is a honda civic vti 1999 manual.

What is the name of this part? I'm pretty sure its called the anti roll bar\sway\stabiliser bar LINKAGE, however if I remember right mechanic kept saying your 'tie rod link' 'tie rod something...' is loose and broken. As you can see in one of the pics the part is completely broken off.

I notice in the comments somebody describes that it looks like a tie rod. Are the components of the sway bar linkage known as tie rod or something. I originally though he was telling me the tie rods needed changing and were making a knocking sound however when I searched repair videos it was clear its the damaged parts in question are not a tie rod However I'm wondering why he kept describing these parts with the words tie rod.

Solar Mike is correct. The known terminology to anyone with shop experience will call it a "sway bar end link" it provides stability and attempts to keep your tires planted to the pavement (which is where you want them planted, not in the air).

The most common name is "sway bar end link" if you are looking to replace them, be sure to get new hardware (nuts) along with the actual part. there will be times and i have a feeling that this might be one of the just by looking at the pictures provided that rust will be your contender in this endeavor.
