No problems, you'd just be riding w/ no rear swaybar.. Did you strip the bolts out?

You would just get some bad understeer, so as long as you don't go hammering though corners, you can live w/o the rear swaybar.

Would it be possible to grind down where the two meet, or is the overlap too big? If its a slight rub, that might be able to be fixed on the link.

Good luck.

the air strut is kinda big and on one side the endlink is already knockin dents in it. Im going to pull it aprt to see if there is anythig that can be done. Worst comes to worst Im just going to take them out I guess.

Flip the links around and install them from the inside.
