Sway bar question

The sway bar on my drivers side front was making a rattling noise today, so I looked a little closer and the bottom bushing is missing. Would it damage it if I didn't replace it, or should I get it replaced?
Thanks,
-Bryan

Ok, nevermind lol I fixed it, I went and got some thick washers and replaced it with one of them. Hopefully it works ok, might just need to be replaced a little more often than the OEM bushings. At least it doesn't make that really loud rattling anymore

It should also handle a tad better since the bar is not loose.

I have poly bushings on the bottom of the bar, and on top where th rods are that go into the lower A-arms.

The poly helps tighten up the ride some.
