I found out the cause of the rattle was my front passenger side sway bar link had broke due to rust. Now the problem is that I cannot get it off because how bad the rust is on the nuts. Any advice for problems like this I would greatly appreciate it.

Yes that is the part that broke. It snapped at the end of the lower arm so it is just dangling there.
