Default Swaybar end link ????

Hey guys im new to this so i hope i dont get on anyones bad side!!

I have just one question, I just did my Tein ss coilover & pillowball mounts instalation yesterday and i found that i cant get the nut back on the swaybar end link due to thread issues! so the question is would it be a bad idea to drive around with out the sway bar for a couple of days?? Thanks ahead for your input!

you can drive like that. it just wont handle well and will have lots more body roll. get a new link from gazi aka aliga or the dealer and youre set.

dont roll your car

a certain die on it, you may be able to fix it. if not, I would just buy a new one.

It has been almost a year I am still missing that piece. I always forget though. You do get minor body roll. I really need to get it done.
