The piece you broke is the endlink. If you jack up the car by the frame such that the wheel is unloaded, the a-arm will drop away and you can pull the remains of the endlink out. Aftermarket replacements are available at Pep Boys.

As for pics, I'm not able to tie up a lot of time tonight snapping and uploading pics so that's not gonna happen. You might be better off buying a service manual, even a cheapo Chiltons has pictures of the suspension components.
