this weekend i decided to intsall my skunk2 coilovers,. along the way i ran into some trouble. i broke the little blue cup in the sway bar link.

what im talking about is the one foot long bar that connects the the strut to the rest of the sway bar.

what i need to know is, if i can get just a new cup like in the pictures from a local autostore, or do i have to order it through the dealer?

will i be able to drive my car even though i dont have the front right sway bar link connected? or do i have to wait until all is connected.
 
:::bump::: please ,i need to know if i can still drive my car even though my right front sway bar isnt connected?????
 
dude, that totally sucks, i wouldn't advise driving it like that, but if you have to, TAKE IT SLOW.
 
You can order it through the dealer and it should only cost about $22-25 clams. As some of the elder member may remember, I was the jackass that slapped a curb at about 23mph and bent my lower control arm bar. The swaybar endlink also gave way and I had to replace it. I don't know how to install it because I had the shop install it for me when I got an alignment. You'll be able to drive it still, but your swaybar will make a snapping noise when you turn and it will also make a similar noise when you go over bumps. I drove with mine broken for about 3 days total, but my commute to work is about 1 mile round trip.
