passenger endlink bushing gone! Wtf! help!
hey guys,
ok, what should/can i do?
Noticed for the past few days a weird "clang" noise coming from my rear. I just identified this afternoon what it was. On the the end link that connects the itr sway bar to the LCA, the bushing-like where the screws goes through and into the LCA has come undone! that's right! Wtf! My right one is gone! I mean, although the driver side is fine, the passenger one is gone. The screw is still there, and so is the rubber bushing, but the endlink is just loose and when hitting the frame or bolt, makes the "clang" sound.
How/Why did the passenger get that way and not the driver side, i have no idea! any clue? is the install incorrect?
Here is exactly what i'm talking about:

I'm off tomorrow so i'm gonna try and fix this asap! Correct me if i'm wrong, but wouldn't i just need to change the bushings!? if so, where the hell do i find those locally? any shops in the area that sell those?
What can i do, purchase to fix that!
Also, will driving with just the driver side connecting the sway bar to the LCA potentially damage something?
thanks in advance for your thoughts/ideas!

naa when u or who ever else replaced the lower arm or the gold thing if im not mistaken(cant really tell by pic) but u might not have snugged it up tight enough
and no u wont damage anything by driving like this just get it replaced asap plus i knew a guy that used welded together construction re-bar for pretty much his whole suspension even his gas strut locked up so he just replace it with re-bar for a couple days lol
