I am basically asking if its safe for me to drive back home from the dealer (15 minutes ride) with the sway bar hanging by the endlinks without the bushings? I have a relocalisation kit at home, but one of my bolt broke inside the frame so I went to the dealer to saw it, but now they say its unsafe to drive with the swaybar hanging like that. They told me that it would be best if the relocalisation kit would be installed at the dealer?

So can I drive home or the swaybar will swing too much when turning or going over bumps?

Thanks

If your talking about the rear, use some wire ties to support it and keep it centered. They will have them there. It'll be ok short term.

Yes you don't want it swinging into your wheel and twisting up everything under there!

Thats what I thought. Anyway my dealer just called me and my car is ready. Was a bit expensive for a freaking broken bolt, but Im gonna just take it and walk away on this one I think.
