Default Help! Broke Sway Bar Mounts

My Sway Bar on the driver side broke off from the subframe. It's the two bolts that goes into the subframe where the links is attached. Does anyone know or had this problem before?

Is it safe to drive without the sway bar for now?

You can drive without the swaybar, but it won't drive/behave the same as before.
Are you talking about the actual mount breaking, or the "U" piece that holds the swaybar to the mount?
If its the actual mount you can buy these to replace them:

The thread on the subframe actually got ripped out and the mount is on the end link dangling. Now i got 2 holes in the subframe that I cant thread new bolt because there's no threads anymore. Is there a weld in version?

How did you air hammer the stock nuts off? I cant even get into the nuts because it's boxed inside the subframe. You go picture of the job you did on your car?
