bolt for rear sway bar gone!

hey guys,

I noticed a clunking noise in the back of my car today. I looked under my car and noticed the top bolt fell out of my whiteline rsb and kartboy endlink. The question is how long can i drive the car without this bolt? I know I shouldnt drive it for too long but its gonna have to wait until the weekend until I can get the replacement bolt. TIA

Haha. You can probably drive without the RSB. If you think about it, the FWD Impreza didn't even come with rear sway bars. I'd say pull that sucker off until you can get a replacement bolt. Trust me... I had a bolt fall off of mine. The clunking is annoying as hell. Just order the part from and online oem vendor and ask for shipping to be adjusted.

Why does it matter if there are threads all the way to the head? I visited three hardware stores and all of them sell the standard bolts. The important part is to be long enough and thread through the body.

also important to have a nylon locking nut as a regular nut will back off
