Installing rear Struts without removing Links?
I did a REALLY quick search but didnt find my answer, can the rear struts be replaced without removing the sway bar end links? I just realized that I styripped it and now I have to order new ones, but I would like to get the struts in if at all possible

no dont cut them! get some needle nose pliers and hold the inside part of the bolt tightly and then take off the 14mm nut. trust me it happened to me and that's how i got it off. very easy.

Is there any issues driving without having the sway bar hooked up for a day or so until the end links come in?

When I did my front struts I thought about removing the sway link and bracket, but it was just easier for me to remove the UCA and press down on the LCA, but that is a really good write up.
Hopefully I will have time tomorrow to replace my rear struts and Monday I will put new end links on.
