Default Ran into a problem installing sway bars...

I got the front bar off ok, but when I went to put the new ones on I found out that the old bolt that goes through that U clamp into the weld nut, doesn't fit through the clamp. Long story short, if i had to drive my car without the front sway bar in how bad/ dangerous would that be?
Thanks

I would not drive it. It a straight line it would be fine, but If you had to make a suddne turn or maneuver, you would under steer like crazy. If you absolutely HAVE to drive it somehwere, drive slow and take corners even slower.

Just take a rat-tail file and make the hole a little bigger... pretty simple and common with stamped parts.
