Sway Bar Bracket

I was replacing sway bar bushings today and when I was bolting the brackets back up one of the bolts broke and won’t come out or tighten. The rest tightened up perfectly. Is it okay to drive? Or any recommendations on getting it out? Thanks!

 

I'd just pull the sway bar out of the truck until you get that bolt extracted.

 

I don’t even think there is a way to extract it it just spins freely.

 

You'll have to cut the bolt head off with an angle grinder, cut-off wheel, etc, remove the sway bar and then drill and tap.

Or just do like some and drive without a sway bar. I don't recommend it, but some on here swear by it.

 

Sounds like the welded nut inside the frame is dorked up. Here's a few past threads on it (and I'm sure you'll find plenty more using the search):
