I smacked a rock in one of those water crossings last week that mashed my drivers side front sway bar mount, bent the bar, and destroyed the bushings on the connector bolt. Taking the broken bolt out got rid of the metal on metal squeak but I had to pull the whole front sway bar to keep the loose driver's side from catching on part of the frame when going around corners.

Should I fix the sway bar or get stiffer shocks and leave it off?
