You can drive safely with out it but you will have to completely disconnect the bar or car will not handle properly. From what I have read so far only J-body Imperials and the Dodge Mirada CMX version came with the factory rear sway bar. Performance Suspension Technology sells these new with polygraphite bushings. I paid $30 for the front ones on my 94 Dakota when the right one broke a few months ago. If you want to place an order their number is: 1-800-247-2288 and their web site is: www.p-s-t.com or you can try to find a M-body police car and get one from it as they are the same as the Imperial.
