the rear sway bar on my '02 Tahoe w/autoride is broken. It broke just after where the bar passes through the axle bracket. Right now the broken end is just zip tied up/out of the way. I'm debating if I should replace the sway bar or just delete the thing. i'm leaning towards deletion, unless it would drastically effect the handling. Any advice please.

I smacked my passenger rear tire against a curb backing out of a parking spot and then about 5 minutes later had to make a hard turn to the right/left while going about 30mph to avoid running into the back of a car that suddenly decided to stop. I think that the combination of these 2 things just over stressed the bar and caused it to break.
