 Is it a real bear to pull? I might be able to remove it before my 'ole Pita

--No, four bolts and two nuts, if memory serves.

--The bushings aren't as bad as they look.  Put it on the stabilizer bar
first, then work the link on with soapy water.

--You just have more sway if you have to swerve or corner hard.  It is a
safety issue, but not major if you're not in the habit of driving like Mario
Andretti.  Of course, you never know when you'll need it.

--On a similar note, my syncro had a broken RF link for a few months, and I
re-welded it once I discovered it.  I did notice a significant difference in
cornering, especially long sweepers on the highway.
