Sway bar end broken off
 
Yesterday when I got home I noticed that the right sway bar end had come off the sway bar which obviously means that the sway bar's also disconnected from the lower control arm. My question is, aside from being annoying to the ears, does this pose as a potential danger when I'm driving. Just by looking at it, I don't see anything that could happen, but I wanted to see what other people think.

I'd fix it if it were mine and I drove it on the road.

I'm going to within the next couple days. It's just getting the part combined with my lack of ambition that's the problem.

the only thing i saw is that if both are disconnected, which yours arent, then the sway bar can move up and the ends can rub on the tire.... depending on bushings wear

in your case, i would try to fix it asap, but will be ok driving around town until you get or make the part needed

You could finnish the job like a lot of us and take the whole dang thing off.

the sway bar just prevents too much bodyroll in sharp high speed turns and is a way to prevent articulation at speed. So long as the sway bar doesnt hit or rub on anything you should be good, until you get it repaired by making quick disconnects! hehe

But if you do go back to the OEM setup, install poly urethane bushings! WOW what a difference!!

Oh yeah and until you repair the sway bar, TAKE IT EASY on the turns...flipping will be waaaaay easier with it disconnected.

Bumpin' is right you would need to get the feel of how your truck rides w/out the swaybar; if you choose that path. I've had mine out for sometime and I have a 4.5" lift, 3" BS(top heavy?) and roll on 35" BFG's I never really noticed any excessive body roll, but then I do the speed limit most of the time.
