They keep you from rolling over in a sudden evasive manuver. You can drive carefully with them broken or missing. Some people take them off while off-roading. They are easy to replace. It's just basically a tough bolt. If the old ones are rusted up, just spray with some pb blaster or wd 40 before. If they are really seized up, then use a hack saw or dremel and cut them out . The new ones are a breeze to put in. They only cost about $25.00 for both sides at NAPA. Tighten them until the bushings are slightly squeezed together or about 25 pounds.
