I only need to put in one more shock/spring setup on my car and its the front right suspension. When we were taking the bolts off my friend said that you dont have to lift the whole front of the car up to get the swaybar bolts off. To make a long story short the bolt on the backside of the sus. fork is stripped and we cant get it off. Do I need to buy a new sway bar and just cut this one off? Even the bottom bolt stripped out aswell. Any suggestions?
 
Cut the sway bar? What are you going to use to do that? I'd try a pair of vise grips on the bolts first. If that fails, you could probably chisel the head off and use a bolt extractor or drill the rest of it out.
