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.

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

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.
