Bad sway bar- youll get a very loud cracking or popping from your tires. Feels like the tire might fall off but wont. Its not an urgent fix unless the noise drives you insane. But you do need to fix it or things could get worse, didnt fix mine for 6 months and it was fine. Luckily parts are cheap to fix it and you can do it yourself with alittle knowledge. If not 100 flat out in a repair shop.
