its just a long bolt, honestly its totally safe to drive still, it will just have more body roll cornering. i took mine off months ago.

I'm no gear head, but I'm learning. Is this a hard/expensive fix?
I assume this is what was making the clunking sound when I start and stop.

You got those off rockauto? They are simple looking, but they add a touch of class over the stock ones. I have a new learning project

the stock one is one long bolt so get a wrench that fits on the top and take a socket to the bottom of it and just take it off, then slip the new one in.

That sounds simple enough. I've never worked on one of my vehicles before today. I noticed the sway bar link while pulling out some wiring the previous owner had done. I'm glad I joined FRF, and I appreciate all the people that are willing to help. God knows I'll need it lol.
