The sway bar is a crucial part of your suspension system. It helps control body roll during cornering and braking. Without a properly functioning rear sway bar, your car will handle significantly worse. You'll experience:
* Increased body roll: The car will lean excessively in turns, making it harder to control and increasing the risk of losing traction.
* Reduced stability: The car will feel less stable and more prone to skidding, especially on uneven surfaces or at higher speeds.
* Compromised braking: Braking distances could increase due to the increased weight transfer and instability.
Driving with a severely compromised sway bar mount is dangerous. While you might be able to drive it a short distance to a repair shop, it's risky and could lead to an accident. Get the mount repaired or replaced as soon as possible. Driving with a completely missing sway bar is strongly discouraged.
