Trouble shooting rear end noise. I think it might be the end link holding the sway bar. I took off a link and want to test. I don't have a replacement on hand ( I know... ). My question is can I drive, not race, the car without the sway bar attached?

Does someone have a picture of these end links. Not sure of where they go or where there at.

OP, yes you can drive with the sway bar detached but it it's going to just be hanging there obviously be careful.

Used to be, there was OE by GM, LGM's regular and Quiet endlinks, and Pfadt. Now, I know Pfadt is gone, and maybe there's someone else or generics from Rock Auto, Summit Racing, JEGS, Napa, AutoZone, etc. I don't know if I'd go driving without either a swaybar or an endlink--sounds too dicey for me.

Installed Moogs about a year ago from Rock Auto and they are so far just fine. They have zerk grease fittings too.

I replaced my rears with Moog. They are not as handsome as the stockers, but they have grease fitting and a nut shoulder to allow tightening without the shaft turning.
