2002 toyota tundra, v8.
Basically they deteriorated with age and one is now missing from each side. therefore there is now some movement allowed by the end links. because of this movement, i am pretty sure it is like not having the sway bar installed at all.
i have replacement stuff on order, but until they arrive (should be monday):
#1) should i just drive like it is, with the missing bushings on the end links?
#2) should i completely remove the end links but leave the sway bar tightly mounted to the axle?
#3) should i remove everything (including the sway bar from the axle) and re-install when the new end links arrive?
what is your advice?
fyi: i tried every auto store in the area, no-one has the end-link size i need.
