One of my sway bar clip bolts snapped. I had it at the shop on the rack and had my buddy take a look. I believe it probably had a nut welded on the other side. Not sure if it will be able to be drilled out. What are my options here? The bolt is snapped off flush to the undercarriage and like I said I presume there is a nut welded on the other side. I am unable to determine though if this is the case since I’m unable to visually see the other side. Another guy mentioned you can remove the sway bar all together and just have a bit more’ body roll!’ I kinda find that not even plausible, and only if it was a temp fix to get home.. a pic of my dilemma! Thanks for any insight!9DDA06AE-58D9-4473-BBA2-32DA18793DFD.jpeg.0128aeace4801d2058d70bff31416d01.jpegYou can see where clip should be on bar and it’s current positioning! 87 2wd 4spd

It's a welded in nut.  Either weld a nut to the broken bolt and turn it out, or get drilling and tap it the next size over.

 

I also believe you can fish a new tab nut in through the front of the frame rail, there is some holes to give you access.
