Default Sway Bar and Steering Dampener Help Needed.

Hey Team....

I am new to the forum and new to the Jeep. I just bought a 99 Cherokee Classic for a runabout and need some help please.
The Jeep jumps over the road when I hit a bump and there is also a little play in the steering.

I have been looking online and am 95% sure I have it, but wanted to get a last confirmation that I'm on the right track.
I am also looking to change both of these things myself...... but am not a mechanic and have never really worked on cars, so just getting that final "you got it mate, get to work!"

So, I took my Classic to the shop to get assessed and here is what they said needs to be done:

"Sway Bar Link Kits
VSL248 VSL248 VC Sway Bar Link.
- Remove & Replace stabiliser bar end link"

I have been Googling everything and think I have it sorted....
1. Is this the "Sway bar link" needed (based on what was assessed) - http://tiny.cc/mart9y
2. Based on what they wrote, do I need to change the whole bar (referring to the "bar" in the link above), or just the bushes/rubbers?
(I feel I know that I need to change the bars and I have found the right product, but just want to be 100%......

The second thing was....
"Steering Damper
1404 Steering Damper F
Remove & replace steering dampener"

1. Is this the "dampener' needed - shorturl.at/fAPZ2
2. Is this also known as a "Steering Stabilizers" and is attached to the drag link?

Sheesh, I feel a bit silly asking this, as it is probably pretty obvious...sorry!

They also said that I need to replace the shocks, but I am going to do that in a few months....

In advance..... Cheers!
