Front sway bar hanging down?

[onecrazyfuq]

As i passed my car today i saw that my front sway bar was hanging down and is disconnected. I do not see where it could possibly hook up to or anything. Maybe i am missing parts. It is a very strange thing. Is this unsafe to drive like this? Also can someone send me some pictures or even direct me in the way of a writeup asap. thanx again guys -anthony

It isn't too safe driving without'em connected, they help resist body roll.

Your 95 is more than likely covered in a safety recall for a broken sway bar bushing. Call your dealer and check here. Mine were cheerily replaced recently by a dealer. Dealers must provide a timely free repair by law. Serious Safety recalls have no expiration dates.
