Sway Bar Bolt Help
The bolt that connects my sway bar and my disco on the driver side either broke or just fell out, with comparing to the other sway bar bolt it looks to be an 18 mm either 3 or3.5 inches. I am running the Full Traction SRS 3" Premium lift and I don't think they are the stock bolts. Anybody have any idea what the exact size is, I took the disco into Lowes but they didn't have a bolt that was the right fit. I drove it home but I know it's not safe driving without the sway bar connected. Will I damage any of my suspension components if I have to drive it for a day or two (have to get to work tomorrow). Thanks for the help.

If the sway bar link is completely removed, you won't damage anything.
You will lose some stability if you make any sudden moves on the road.
We just had a van roll over on I-95 in Bangor. A disconnected sway bar link was a contributing factor.

Yeah I knew it wasn't safe, hopefully I can find a replacement bolt this weekend. Thanks for the info that it won't damage anything further.

I just went through this... I think it is an M12 bolt. I forget the exact length, but I think it was around 60... Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong. I actually took off the bolt from the other side I wasn't missing and took that into the store
